Schools in Cave Creek....

The first Cave Creek school opened on the eastern banks of the Cave Creek in 1886, when Andrew and Jennie Hoskin settled in the tiny settlement; their seven children swelled the population of the town’s appropriately aged children to a number where a school could be established. Located very close to Houck’s Cave Creek Station (near present-day Rancho Mañana), the school was eventually moved further north on the banks of the creek to protect the children from the dust and noise of the Houck’s sheep shearing sheds, as well as the rough language and behavior of the drovers.
Cave Creek and its school---educating children from grade 1st-8th---for high school, Cave Creek kids had to travel to Paradise Valley as recently as the early 1980s---thrived until the first decade of the 20th century when Cave Creek was struck by a terrible drought. Crops withered, cattle and sheep were sold off for lack of water, and many families were forced to move away. The number of students fell drastically and in 1913, the school closed.
The school did not reopen until 1930, when the building of Horseshoe and Bartlett Dams brought new families and children to the area. September of 1934, the school reopened at the corner of what is now Schoolhouse and Cave Creek Roads, reorganized as Cave Creek School District Number 93. Initially described as “a little white-painted schoolhouse” with one room, as the population of the area grew, in 1950 the little schoolhouse was replaced by a four-room school with a corral out back for the students’ horses. In 1964, a second four-room school was built and the corral removed. The number of students grew by leaps and bounds---in 1967, there were 130 students---in 1970, there were 200 and Cave Creek acknowledged the need for another school. Black Mountain School was opened in 1973. Ten years later, Cactus Shadows High School opened and the practice of Creeker kids traveling several hours a day to and from Paradise Valley to attend high school ended. There are now seven schools to serve the 144 square miles of the Cave Creek Unified School District, one of the largest school districts in the state of Arizona.
