New facility

The old campus was torn down in June 2006 after over 50 years of being the main location for the school. In July 2006, indoor, mall-style school was completed and the students moved in. It was erected on the site of the old football field. After the campus was completed, construction began on a new artificial turf football field and track. Construction was completed in 2007.

The moving of the school changed its address to the City of Las Vegas, while still being within North Las Vegas.
