History

In 1984, the district had 44 students and four teachers, with one of them also being the principal. That year the district had proposed having a four day school week to save money, and the Arizona Board of Education approved the proposal. It would begin in fall 1984.[3] In 1987 all members of the state board decided that Owens-Whitney could continue having four days per week instruction.[4]

As of 1984 multiple students lived at least 15 miles (24 km) away from the school, with one around 40 miles (64 km) away.[3]
