Phoenix Union High School (PUHS) was a high school that was part of the Phoenix Union High School District in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, one of five high school-only school districts in the Phoenix area. Founded in 1895 and closed in 1982, the school consisted of numerous buildings on a campus which by 1928 consisted of 18 acres.
In 1982, the majority of the campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Phoenix Union High School Historic District[6] The PUHS campus was included in the Phoenix Historic Property Register in 1986, and received landmark designation in 2003.
The campus is now part of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, including three buildings on East Van Buren Street between North 5th and North 7th Streets built in 1911–1912 and designed by Norman Foote Marsh in the Neoclassical style. As of 2007, these three buildings became part of the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.
