 This new location served grades 6-12, while grades K-5 remained at the Palo Verde Baptist Church property in Tucson.By early 2000, the school was struggling and it was at that time that the leadership of Catalina Foothills Church, PCA, wanted to open a Christian high school.Through the leadership of David Mehl and other members, ownership of the school transferred from Palo Verde Baptist Church to Catalina Foothills in early 2000.
