gaming and entertainment enthusiasts, the

casinos of Laughlin, Nevada are 20 minutes

The Mohave Valley School District covers a

large and diverse population and geographi-

cal area. Part of western Mohave County, the

district serves the unincorporated areas of

Fort Mojave and Mohave Valley. The north-

ern end of the district supports many small

and medium sized businesses that are an

outgrowth of Bullhead City to the north. The

southern end of the district is comprised

mostly of small businesses and agricultural

areas. Sprinkled throughout is the Fort

Mojave Indian Reservations.

The area was initially inhabited by the

Mohave Indians. They called themselves

the Pipa Aha Macav (“the people by the

river”). The first white men to discover the

area were Spanish explorers who heard

the name pronounced as “Mo-HAH-vey,”

and spelled Mohave. The Indian tribe and

the area of Fort Mojave both use the origi-

nal spelling of Mojave.

In 2015 the district converted its schools

to grade-banded schools: Comprised of

Camp Mohave Elementary (serving stu-

dents in grades 3-5), Fort Mojave Elemen-

tary (serving students in grades PK-2),

and Mohave Valley Junior High (serving

students in grades 6-8), the Mohave Valley

School District

serves 1250 stu-

dents, preschool

through eighth

grade. Students

have access to a

wide variety of ser-

vices and activities,

including numerous
