Many organizations and publications are commemorating Arizona’s 100^th birthday through various special events and publications. Recently, Cartwright School District, in particular Cartwright School, was honored by the Historic Preservation Office of the City of Phoenix. The District received a certificate from the City of Phoenix, Historic Preservation Commission and the Heritage Commission for “contributions made to preserve Cartwright School” built in 1924. Cartwright School has been placed on the Phoenix Historic Property Register and The National Register of Historic Places. A plaque will be placed at Cartwright School in the summer of 2012.

Also, "Arizona Highways" magazine recently published an article entitled “Not Just Any Old Things” that included a list of one hundred 100 year old historical landmarks. Cartwright School, 5333 W. Thomas Road, is number 14 on the list. 

We are honored to be part of the celebration of Arizona’s 100^th birthday.
