Kingman High School is the public high school in Kingman, Arizona. It is a part of the Kingman Unified School District. The mascot of Kingman High School is an English bulldog.
Kingman High School's history dates back to the beginning of Mohave County, Arizona. When the original school was built in 1917, it was named Mohave County Union High School or Mohave Union High School. It was built in Kingman on the site of an old pioneer cemetery. In later years it became known as Kingman High School.
In 1993 a new high school outside of the Kingman city limits was built, known as Kingman High School North; it was the campus for the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Freshmen attended the old school, Kingman High South.
In 2006, all high school students began to attend the North campus (by now known as simply Kingman High School). The campus was reused as a middle school (White Cliffs) and is currently being retrofitted into a second comprehensive high school, Lee Williams High School.
The old school's gymnasium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Mohave Union High School Gymnasium. It is not being affected by the retrofit to Lee Williams High School.
The school has some 500 students in AP, honors, or dual enrollment (through Mohave Community College) courses.
