About our Campus
A School with Rich Tradition and Modern Updates
Saguaro was founded in 1965 and maintains a few of the traditional buildings with rich history; however, our main buildings were rebuilt in 2008. In addition to that, our Innovation Center was built in 2020. This state of the art building is home to our award winning robotics teams and MSA program.
