Cloves C. Campbell, Sr. (1931–2004) was a trailblazing leader in Arizona. He made history as the first African American elected to the Arizona State Senate and dedicated his life to education, civil rights, and community service.

In addition to serving in both the Arizona House of Representatives and the Senate, Mr. Campbell co-founded the Arizona Informant, a weekly newspaper that continues to highlight African American voices and stories across the state.

Throughout his life, he worked tirelessly for fairness, opportunity, and justice — from introducing one of the first bills to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to serving on school boards and local organizations that supported families.

Our school proudly carries his name to honor his legacy of leadership, perseverance, and service to the community.
