 Carol Timpson, the school's then-principal, also pushed for the name of the school to change, from Colorado City Public School to its present name.Continued efforts by parents and Timpson began to get the school involved in athletics.The school became an associate member of the Arizona Interscholastic Association (it was turned down by the Utah High School Activities Association for the condition of its gymnasium), and its boys basketball program improved to an 18-4 record in 2010.
