Youngker High School is a high school in Buckeye, Arizona under the jurisdiction of the Buckeye Union High School District. Youngker opened its doors for the first freshman class in 2007. The district chose the name after the Youngker family, who generously donated the land that YHS sits upon. The school opened under the guide of Principal Johnny Ray, who retired from education in May of 2011.
Its roof sustained damage in the 2011 Phoenix dust storm, causing water damage to several classrooms. Debris shattered two windows. On May 1, 2011, Officer Rolando Tirado, the beloved School Resource Officer, was shot and killed while pulling over a vehicle on an approved off-duty security detail. .[2]
