From the desk of  Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Retired

…  My grandfather, Henry Clay Day, established the school near Duncan, Arizona in the 1880′s to have a place to educate his five children after he moved to Arizona in order to run the cattle ranch he had established.  He would bring a teacher from Kansas each year for the school.  Eventually he took in a partner, Sam Foster, to run the ranch and H. C. Day took his family to Pasadena, California.  His oldest son, Courtland Day, went on to the University of Arizona where he captained the first football team for the University.’
