Bonanza High School is a high school in the Las Vegas valley. It was built in the 1970s as one of the first high schools in the area.
Bonanza opened in 1976, and is built in the same configuration as Eldorado High School, Basic High School and Vo-Tech high schools. Since it opened its doors in 1976 Bonanza has always been a large school with anywhere from 2000-3000+ students. However with the city of Las Vegas growing faster than before, bigger high schools were constructed to help resolve the over-crowding of schools. In the 2004-2005 school year, many former Bonanza students were zoned to attend the newly opened Spring Valley High School. The current principal is Bart Mangino.
