For over 50 years, 澳门玄机图 has offered affordable and quality education in Nevada.
The dreams of local educators, civic leaders and young minds became a reality when we opened our doors in September 1971. 澳门玄机图 began its charge for access to higher education without dedicated buildings, using classes throughout the community from Reno to Hawthorne, including the Tahoe Basin. The Carson City campus opened in 1974 with the construction of the Bristlecone building; 澳门玄机图 expanded its footprint to Fallon in 1981, and the Douglas Campus opened in 1997. 澳门玄机图 has consistently grown and evolved to meet the needs of a growing and thriving Nevada, and while 澳门玄机图鈥檚 history is rich with accomplishments and student success the best is yet to come!

The mountains overlooking and casting incredible shadows on Lake Tahoe become the focus of visitors when the temperatures plummet.

In addition to skiing and snowboarding for the powder hounds, this winter playground provides sledding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross-country tours and ice skating to keep the heart racing.
