Join us once again for another night of amazing student musical performances at 191 Toole on Friday, December 13th. 

In collaboration with The Rialto Theatre, CITY Center music workshop students play loud and fast original songs that are sure to blow your mind.  

Under the guidance of Danny Walker, students in our music workshop program learn and develop their instrumentation and songwriting skills, perform solo or in bands, and express their powerful creativity through music.  

This event is a fundraiser, with all proceeds benefitting the music workshop program. 

You may purchase tickets online here.  

City High School Community Days connect students to their community and provide a great opportunity for students to do hands-on service learning projects that impact the wellness of our community.  

Organized by advisory, students spent the day supporting the Community Food Bank, Community Village Farm, TRAK, Primavera Foundation, Armory Park Senior Center, and more.

Engaging our students in community partnerships supports their personal and academic growth, build their leadership and collaborative competencies, and creates a stronger connection to their city.  

City High School and Paulo Freire Freedom School are celebrating twenty years of providing an incredible public education to the Tucson community.  

Come celebrate with us on Saturday, April 26th when we look back on our decades of excellence and look forward to the future of education.
