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 first white men to discover the area were Spanish explorers who heard the name pronounced as “Mo-HAH-vey,” and spelled the name “Mojave.” 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.

Comprised of Camp Mohave Elementary, Fort Mojave Elementary, Mohave Valley Elementary, and Mohave Valley Junior High, the Mohave Valley School District serves 2,000 students, preschool through eighth grade. Students have access to a wide variety of services and activities, including a variety of special education services, after-school extra-curricular and intramural sports programs, and access to updated technology in every classroom on all four campuses.

The area offers many activities for outdoor enthusiasts, including hiking, camping, fishing, skiing swimming, and boating. For the gaming and entertainment enthusiasts, the casinos of Laughlin, Nevada are 20 minutes away. Although the summers can be harsh, often exceeding temperatures of 115 degrees, the winters are mild and attract enough winter visitors to double the area’s population.
