PHOTO: Old-School Approach

The Blue Diamond School, one of the oldest in Clark County, opened in 1929 after the Blue Diamond mine began operating. The little building was first located at the Cottonwood Ranch and then was moved to the hill near the mine, where the workers lived, many in tent houses. This 1938 photo was taken by Elbert Edwards, then school district superintendent. A new school was constructed in 1942 when the company built Blue Diamond Village. That school is still operating. This historic photo is one in a yearlong series commemorating the 100th anniversary of Clark County.
