The Mohave Valley School District covers a large and diverse population and geographical area. Part of western Mohave County, the district serves the unincorporated areas of Fort Mojave and Mohave Valley. The northern 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 Reservation.

The area was initially inhabited by the Mojave Indians. They called themselves the Pipa Aha Macav ("the people by the river"). The desert area, the county, and the valley are all spelled Mohave; The Indian tribe and the area of Fort Mojave both use the original Spanish spelling of Mojave. Read Full Story

School Reorganization
Patrons of Mohave Valley School District;

As you may have already heard, the governing board has made a decision to grade-band our schools for the 2015-16 year. At the same time, the board directed the administration to start the process to close Mohave Valley Elementary. This would effectively turn Fort Mojave into a PS-2^nd grade school, Camp Mohave a 3-5^th grade school, and the junior high a 6-8^th grade campus.

These changes have become necessary due to our declining enrollment. Our enrollment this year specifically shrank by 135 students, which at approximately $3400 per student, leaves us at a budget deficit for next year of $459,000.
