Buckeye

Buckeye JVS opened its doors on September 8th, 1976. A staff of 79 teachers, administrators, and Maintenance personnel were on hand for the opening of the school. Thirty-two areas of vocational instruction were offered to 825 juniors from the various schools as well as five adult education programs. Students were bused (or drove) from their home school to classes but remained students of their parent school and continued to participate in such extra-curricular activities as sports and band at their home school. The Buckeye Joint Vocational School District's Board of Education believes in fair representation on the Board from all of their feeder schools, and believes that vocational schools are virtually "centers" for applied science, technology, and occupational development. It is the desire of the Board that Buckeye operate as an extension of the home schools to supplement its curriculum and cooperate with the home schools in order to provide a stimulating educational environment for attracting students of all ability levels. The objectives of this education is to prepare each person for a useful and productive career.
