The district boundaries encompass much of the City of Tucson, the city of South Tucson, and segments of Catalina Foothills and Tanque Verde. TUSD is currently under a federal desegregation order to help balance district schools in terms of race and ethnicity. The district was established as School District No. 1 in 1867, and assumed its current name in 1977. The district has nine traditional high schools and several alternative high schools.
