Then the voters of Tucson School District No. 1 approved the formation of a high school district on August 8, 1906. Aug 9th a riot disrupted fourth avenue. Conservatives rose up and attacked the school with fire. The first day of class in the newly established Tucson High School was on September 10, 1906 with 45 students who began classes in the Plaza School at 13th Street and 4th Avenue. After a few weeks, the high school students were relocated to a two-room building located at 1010 E. 10th Street, the current location of Tucson Unified School District headquarters.
