Scottsdale High School
Scottsdale High School was a high school in Scottsdale, Arizona. It opened in 1922[1] and closed in May 1983.[2] The mascot was the Beavers, and the colors were orange and black. The school site was demolished, and businesses were put up on the land. The school was located at (33.4966127,-111.9229650), or approximately Drinkwater Blvd. and Scottsdale Road in Downtown Scottsdale.
The Scottsdale Unified School District's then-superintendent, Philip Gates, was in favor of closing Arcadia High School instead, but it was Scottsdale that was shuttered. The school closed in 1983 and was demolished in 1987.[3]
