Richey K-8 School is situated in Tucson, Arizona within a Yaqui community, the Old Pascua Neighborhood.  

Pascua Village was officially established in 1921 and two years later Miss Richey opened school in an open-front ramada.  A year later in 1924, parents built a one-room adobe school.  The school gradually expanded but it was not until 1954 that the current Richey School building replaced the old school.

Today Richey K-8 School serves 220 students ranging from pre-school through 8th grade with one class at each grade level.
