LVA LEGACY PROJECT &
LEGACY PLAQUES
- The LVHSAA is very
proud of our former president Bruce Langson (1965) who spearheaded a project to
preserve our old LVHS campus on 7th and Bridger. Bruce, along with alumni
Senator Richard Bryan (1955) and Bob Stoldal (1961) worked diligently on this
project for several years, resulting in the Clark County School District
committing $15 million toward renovation and upgrading the campus (now the Las
Vegas Academy). The Academy students love the campus as much as those of us that
attended there do, and want it maintained – not replaced!
Many thanks to those of you
that purchased legacy plaques or pavers, which helped fund for the recent
renovation of the old auditorium on the corner of 9th and Clark. Click
thumbnails below for larger images.
If you didn’t
already purchase one, it’s not too late!

LVHS is a Title 1 school with a high
percentage of students from low-income families below the poverty level.Many of
the LVHS staff members personally provide school supplies and food for some of
their students. The school has established a Donation Center to collect supplies
to help the needy students, and the LVHSAA provided funds to purchase storage
supplies to house the donated items. If you would like to help by donating
non-perishable food, clothing, school supplies, etc., contact us at
lvhsaamain02@gmail.com

VISIT THE “OLD” CAMPUS!
Check out the
Senior Squares monument– created by
the LVHSAA and funded by alumni donations to replace the Senior Squares.
Check out the LVHS memorabilia display in the beautiful cabinet donated by
the LVHSAA and built by our Historian Joe Thomson. It is just inside the front
entrance of the main building. The Academy welcomes visitors to stop by to see
the memorabilia any time. The memorabilia is changed every few months and
usually displays memorabilia from classes having significant reunions in any
given year.
If you have anything you would like to display (you
can either donate or loan to us), such as class rings, letter jackets or
sweaters, or anything that will bring back memories from your years at LVHS,
