One District, One Team
Welcome
Welcome to our school *district website! We’re delighted you’re here to learn more about our educational community.
Located in beautiful Sedona, Arizona, we proudly serve approximately 700 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across both Yavapai and Coconino counties. Our exceptional facilities are set against the stunning backdrop of Sedona’s famous Red Rock formations.
Our district is committed to providing an exceptional educational experience for every student. Nestled among the red rocks, we believe that learning should be inspiring, challenging, and joyful. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to create environments where students can discover their passions and grow into confident, compassionate leaders.
As “One District, One Team,” we invite you to connect with us to see firsthand why learning in the red rocks is truly special!
Healthy Meals for Strong Minds and Bodies
At SOCUSD, we believe that healthy meals are essential for helping students do their best—whether in the classroom, on the field, or beyond. Nutritious food supports focus, learning, and overall well-being.
We’re proud to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which allows all students to receive free, healthy breakfast and lunch every school day—no household income application required.
