History
[edit | edit source]Camelback was designed by a group of noted local architects consisting of Lescher & Mahoney, Edward L. Varney, H. H. Green and John Sing Tang with Harold Ekman and Fred M. Guirey as consultant and supervising architects. The construction contract to build the school was awarded to Mardian Construction Co.[5] The campus was renovated in 2007 with many of the outdated original buildings demolished and replaced with new buildings. Architectural Resource Team drew up the planes for the renovation.[6] Phoenix City Council District 6 candidate [7][8]
