Youngker High School is a high school in Buckeye, Arizona under the jurisdiction of the Buckeye Union High School District. It opened its doors for the first freshman class in 2007. The school opened under the guide of Principal Johnny Ray, who retired from education in May 2011.
The district named the school after the Youngker family, who generously donated the land that YHS sits upon.
Its roof sustained damage in the 2011 Phoenix dust storm, causing water damage to several classrooms. Debris shattered two windows.
On May 1, 2011, officer Rolando Tirado, the school resource officer, was shot and killed while pulling over a driver.
