Buena High School is a high school in Sierra Vista, Arizona. It is the only high school in the Sierra Vista Unified School District.
The current school building was built in the early 1990s to accommodate an ever-expanding student enrollment and opened in the spring of the 1991–92 school year. The school was built to handle an enrollment of up to 2,500 students; it was over-capacity from its opening and filled to capacity through the late 2000s.
It serves high school-aged dependent children living on Fort Huachuca.[2]
Theater

The Klein Performing Arts Center [3] main auditorium can seat from 907 to as many as 1319 by opening the two 'pods'. The Little Theater Pod seats 206 and features a small stage with self-contained computer lighting and sound. The Lecture Pod seats 213 and is ideal for group meetings. Several school, community, and commercial events are held in the various BPAC facilities each year. Buena's performing arts program was also ranked among the top in the nation, led by beloved fine arts teacher, Carrie Duerk.
