Welcome to Huachuca Mountain

Mary Garrett-Perez, Principal

We are excited to welcome you back for the 2026-2027 school year.  I am a firm believer in the public school system.  Both of my daughters attended Huachuca Mountain.  This year, my youngest will graduate from Buena High School, after attending Huachuca Mountain.  (Bolts to Colts!) For those of you just starting your elementary school journey, the time will go by quickly!  I promise you, you will blink and your children will be graduating seniors.  


The photos on the right show my youngest daughter at Huachuca Mountain in 3rd grade. The second is a photo of her with  Ms. Neitring’s daughter.  They painted a mural in one of our classrooms!  My job is truly a family affair! If something is made of wood in our building, my husband probably made it.   From murals to door signs, from the PTO to our theater program, our school runs on service and love!  

 We are truly “public school proud” at Huachuca Mountain, and believe our history of success sets us apart from any other school in our county.  We thank you for trusting your children with us, and we know 2026-2027 will be a wonderful school year. 

Huachuca Mountain Fun Facts

Our Mascot

Our mascot is the lightning bolt. We derived our name from the spectacular thunder and lightning storms that we receive from our Huachuca Mountains.
