Las Vegas School, grades K-8, 1924. Las Vegas School previously housed all grades, including high school students in a separate wing during the early 1900s. Research suggests that the high school was later separated into a different building. That school, named Clark County High School and then renamed Las Vegas High School, was constructed in 1917.
