Historic Goldfield High School opened with a ceremony and informal dedication
on November 18, 1907 "after which some 400 pupils were assigned to
their grades and the work of instruction commenced. A score of more new
enrollment t's were made." It was open until 1952.
"The dedication consisted of the "raising of the flag over
the building for the first time and the releasing of two snow white doves
from the furls of the emblem as it took its place on the staff. The hundreds
of pupils of the school gathered on the avenue below, raised their voices
in the inspiring air of "America" as the two birds winged their
flight across Goldfield."
There is an effort underway by the "Goldfield Historic High School" to
raising money for it's restoration.
