About Our School
What Makes Us Special
Rincon emphasizes global thinking, problem-solving and academic writing. Teachers encourage students to be collaborative, advocate for themselves and to celebrate diversity.
Rincon's rigorous academic standards and wide variety of classes prepare graduates for the future. The school offers dynamic fine arts courses, career and technical education classes and Advanced Placement courses in 15 subjects. Teachers and administrators develop an "educational family" of instructors, classmates and tutors for each Rincon Ranger to provide support throughout the high school experience.
Sharing a campus and extracurricular programs with University High School, Rincon is also home to the award-winning Rincon University High School Band.

Congratulations to our very own Ranger faculty member, Ms. Alyson Cartwright, for being selected as the "Tucson Teacher of the Month" by Tucson Values Teachers!
Ms. Cartwright teaches Chemistry and AVID at Rincon and serves as a teacher tech-facilitator. She came to us from the science field where she was a practicing scientist in the industry, known for her work developing mining software. Ms. Cartwright takes advantage of every opportunity she is given to help her students and encourage their learning. She also supports staff members, new and veteran alike, serving as a mentor and confidant. Ms. Cartwright can often be found in her room before school, during her lunch break, and afterschool working with students. She and her husband, on top of being parents, dedicate their time to an extracurricular coding club to help interested students learn about computer coding. Ms. Cartwright also spends extra time planning guest speakers and field trips to help her students foster a passion for learning through meaningful experiences.
