Buena High School

Every month the Student Support Office sends a survey to teachers and staff that asks them to nominate students for the monthly Colt of Character. The Colt of Character nominees are students that are demonstrating PBIS leadership qualities in their classrooms and around school. We had a ton of amazing student nominees for the month of August. One student from each class was then chosen as our overall Colt of Character for the month. Congratulations to Mason Perez, Maren LeSueur, Caroline Seamans, and Matthew Conroy for being our Colts of Character for August and congratulations to all of our nominees for being leaders in our school.

CTE Colts Welcome Congressman Juan Ciscomani!🐴💙

Buena High School was proud to welcome Congressman Juan Ciscomani and his team for an afternoon highlighting the incredible opportunities available through our Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs!

During his visit, Congressman Ciscomani met directly with students, learned about the programs they are involved in, and heard why they chose their CTE pathways and how those experiences are helping shape their plans for the future.

He had the opportunity to visit students representing:

🎬 Film & TV
👨‍🍳 Culinary Arts
📈 DECA & Marketing
🔧 Automotive
⚙️ Engineering
🚔 Law & Public Safety
🩺 Nursing
🎭 Stagecraft

The best part of the afternoon was giving our students the opportunity to share their skills, experiences, and goals firsthand. Our CTE Colts have a lot to be proud of, and Buena loves any opportunity to show them off!

Thank you to Congressman Ciscomani and his team for spending the afternoon with us, listening to our students, and taking an interest in the programs preparing them for college, careers, and their futures.

💙🐴 We are proud of our amazing CTE Colts!

Good afternoon, Buena Seniors! Due to today's weather, we have to cancel Senior Parking Spot Painting scheduled for this afternoon. Saturday's painting session is still on as planned. We'll share information about a possible makeup date for today's session as soon as it's available. Thank you for your understanding, and stay safe!

Good afternoon,

We look forward to a safe and successful school year!

📢 New Arizona Healthy Schools Act Takes Effect This School Year

Sierra Vista Unified School District is committed to keeping families informed about changes that affect our schools. Beginning this school year, Arizona's Healthy Schools Act (A.R.S. §15-242.01) establishes new statewide requirements for certain foods and beverages shared with students during the school day.

Please note: This is an Arizona state law, not an SVUSD-created rule. All public schools across Arizona are required to comply.

Here's what families need to know:

🥪 Students may still bring their own lunches and snacks from home for their personal consumption.

🚫 Students may not share lunches or snacks that contain any of the prohibited ingredients listed in the new law.

🎉 Birthdays, holidays, and classroom celebrations will continue! If food is brought to share with classmates, it must comply with the Arizona Healthy Schools Act.

🍎 Good news! Our food service partner, SFE, is already in compliance with the new law. All breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and beverages served through SVUSD meet the state's new requirements.

🎈 Elementary & K–8 Families: To make celebrations easy, our Food Service Department will offer Celebration Packs that include a compliant drink and cookies for $2 per student. More information and order forms will be available in your school office soon.

Thank you for partnering with us as we implement this new statewide requirement and continue creating healthy, welcoming schools for all students.

📄 Learn more by reading the attached information and reviewing the list of prohibited ingredients.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to restore service as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your support.

🚌 2026–2027 Bus Routes Are Now Posted! 🎉

SVUSD families can now view updated bus routes, stops, and our Neighborhood Bus Route Guide for the new school year.

🎉 Welcome to the SVUSD Family! 🍎💚

This week, we had the privilege of welcoming our newest teachers during New Teacher Induction! Throughout the week, our Curriculum Department and Instructional Coaches worked alongside these incredible educators, helping them learn the ins and outs of Sierra Vista Unified School District and preparing them for a successful school year.

From building connections and exploring instructional strategies to learning about the resources and support available across our district, they are already becoming an important part of the SVUSD team.

We are so excited for the passion, talent, and dedication each of these educators will bring to our classrooms and school communities. Here's to an amazing first year and an incredible 2026–2027 school year ahead!

Please join us in giving our newest teachers a warm SVUSD welcome! 💙🍎

What an incredible evening! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first-ever Buena 250 last Friday and helped celebrate our school, our community, and America's 250th Anniversary.
Families, students, staff, alumni, and community members explored campus, met our amazing teachers and program leaders, and discovered the many opportunities that make Buena High School such a special place. From Athletics and Fine Arts to JROTC, Engineering, Culinary Arts, and so much more, it was a great opportunity to showcase all that Buena has to offer.
A special thank you goes out to our dedicated staff, student volunteers, and program representatives who made this event possible. Your enthusiasm and school pride created an unforgettable experience for everyone who attended.
We loved seeing so many smiling faces, making new connections, and welcoming future Colts to campus. We can't wait to see you all again soon!
