Coronado High School is a public high school located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The school enrolled 1,433 in the 2005-2006 school year who primarily come from feeder schools in the Scottsdale Unified School District. Beginning in the summer of 2005, Coronado is under renovation.
Athletics
The Coronado baseball team has been the school's most successful program over its nearly 50 years. The team has won four baseball championships. Three of which ('66, '69 and '79) were won in Arizona's 5A division, with the other in 2007 in 4A division II led by Coronado's long time coach Buck Holmes. The Dons football program has been known for it small but powerful players. In 1976, Coach Ed Anderson led the team to a perfect season and a 5A Championship. Coronado sports teams play in the 4A division II East Sky Region with Arcadia, Tempe, Queen Creek, Higley and Seton Catholic. Their primary rivals are Saguaro High School and Arcadia High School. Their mascot is the Don, an honorific term used to describe Spanish nobles such as Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, the school's namesake.
Architecture
Coronado High School was designed by architect Ralph Haver, a prolific midcentury architect who also designed numerous public and commercial buildings, as well as tract homes and private residences in Phoenix and Scottsdale during the 1950s and 1960s. The neighboring residential community of Town and Country, also featuring classic contemporary ranch style tract homes designed by Ralph Haver, was designated as historic by the City of Scottsdale in 2005. Coronado High recently went under renovation which completely finished for the 2008-2009 school year; however, Haver's touch lives on in the signature white folded-plate motif used atop the new structure.
Film location
In the late 1980s, CHS was used as a film location as a less-expensive alternative to filming in California. Coronado High School was the site of the high school that "Bill and Ted" attended in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure although the High School in the movie was named San Dimas High School (San Dimas was actually the site of the Bill & Ted sequel). The movie finale (Bill & Ted's final on-stage report with historical figures) was filmed in Coronado's auditorium, torn-down for remodeling in 2006.
Disney used CHS twice as Coronado was the site of filming for 1987's Not Quite Human , a film featuring Jay Underwood, Robyn Lively, and Alan Thicke. Another movie called Just Perfect (featuring Jennie Garth) was filmed for the Mickey Mouse Club in 1989. The final football game shown in the movie was actually Coronado's Varsity and Junior Varsity teams.
The 1985 movie, Just One of the Guys, starring Joyce Hyser; was filmed at the now demolished Scottsdale High School, as well as at Coronado High School.
There was another Lifetime Network type movie filmed on the campus in 1998.
