The Little Red Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse located a few miles northeast of Nogales, Arizona, in the community of Beyerville. Opened in 1921 by the Santa Cruz Elementary District to serve the children of local farmers and ranchers, the Little Red Schoolhouse is the only one remaining of approximately two dozen red schoolhouses built in the Santa Cruz River valley in the 1920s.[1][2]

Next to the historic Little Red Schoolhouse is the modern Little Red Schoolhouse elementary school, a larger K–8 facility for the Santa Cruz Elementary District that replaced the original schoolhouse.[2]
