Our school is located in the small retirement community of Green Valley. Originally established in the 1960’s to be a community of Homeowner Organizations (HOA), it now boasts a thriving population of over 19,000 people. While still predominately a retirement community, it now serves almost 200 families. Our school and retirement community work hand in hand for the betterment of Green Valley. Our students benefit from the many ‘elders’ who volunteer their time and expertise, making our District a truly unique place to be.

Continental School has served the community of Green Valley since the early 1900's. Our name comes from the Continental Rubber Company, which grew various crops in the area to the east. Although we are located in the desert southwest, Green Valley gets its name from the many mature pecan trees that grow in our area, providing a brilliant, green contrast to the desert landscape around us.

Continental Elementary School District has been in existence 95 years as a K-8 school. The district has a state mandated pre-school program to serve special needs children ages 3-4. Be sure to view our Fact Sheet for more information about our school district.

Continental School District will provide a community environment in which all individuals are challenged to achieve excellence in academics, character, and life skills.
