History

A combination Moapa Valley High School and Overton Elementary opened its doors in 1914. This was in a gothic style two-story masonry building. The first graduating class received their diplomas in 1919. The Class of 1919 consisted of two students. Mr. Liljenquist was the first principal of Moapa Valley High School. Due to growth in the valley a second building was added in 1922 which included a 250-seat auditorium and a gymnasium. Later a second gymnasium was added with the help of the Federal Government in the 1930’s. The two-story gymnasium was then converted into the school library. Moapa Valley High School became a part of the Clark County School District in 1956. More information concerning the school and the valley can be found in the books “100 Years on the Muddy”, or “Grant M. Bowler: The Man and His Time”.
