Well, it’s official Sedona will soon be home to a middle school.
By a unanimous vote on Tuesday, Feb. 2, the Sedona-Oak Creek School District’s Governing Board directed staff to move forward with adding sixth grade to the Sedona Red Rock High School campus in the fall. The district’s seventh- and eighth-graders have been at the high school since the 2016-17 school year.
Superintendent Dennis Dearden said this will benefit the school because it allows more flexibility with courses being offered and for the students it gives them three full years to participate in activities such as orchestra and theater as well as athletics.
