After 29 years the school made a new campus in 1930 that opened 1931 after 62 years the school moved to a new campus in 1993, along the foothills of Frenchman Mountain.HistoryLas Vegas High School's original campus was constructed a tent near the cottonwoods near north Creek of town for the 1905 school year Las Vegas High was the first high school in Las Vegas, but caused much controversy at the time for its location. In the early 40's, the High School was considered to be quite distant from the rest of the town and was a commute for some students. The school originally had three buildings, the tri-level Main building on the corner of 7th and Bridger, the Gymnasium, and a third building that originally housed wood shops and vocational classes, and later government classes. It was torn down in 1969. Las Vegas High School is now a landmark in Las Vegas for it represents the best of the Art-Deco Style Architecture of the 1930s, that still stands in the city. The school's outer appearance has been maintained but the interior has been changed quite a bit since the original construction in the 1930s. Lieutenant William Harrell Nellis, for whom Nellis Air Force Base is named, graduated from Las Vegas High School.
