Kingman High School

History

Kingman High School is a high school in Kingman, Arizona, USA. It is a part of the Kingman Unified School District #20.

Kingman High School's history dates back to the beginning of Mohave County. When the first school was built, it was called Mohave County Union High School, and was built in Kingman, on the site of an old pioneer cemetery. In later years it became known as Kingman High School.

In 1993 a new high school in the city was built, it became known as Kingman High School North, resided by the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The old school became Kingman High School South, and was resided by the freshman.

In the year 2006, North was dropped from the name. Kingman High School now resided by all high school classes, and Kingman High School South was changed to WCMS, or White Cliffs Middle School.

Security

In the school year of 2007-2008, Kingman High School adopted a shirt policy, all students are required to wear a School Approved Shirt every day to school, this school approved shirt comes in differing colors, and has a Kingman High School emblem containing its mascot on the upper left hand corner of the front of the shirt and jacket. This shirt policy was adopted to prevent non-KHS kids from hanging out on campus during school hours. This did not change any security at the school, because any person can go to the local wal-mart and buy the shirt.

The security guards at the school are mostly there for show, because even the person at the front gate just sits there and does nothing. If you are driving to school he may want you to stop, but it is not necessary because it saves time if you drive past him. The only real security is the site resource officer from the Mohave County Sheriff's Office.

Mascot

The mascot of Kingman High School is an blue blood bulldog.
