Lee Williams High School is dedicated to providing a diverse, high quality, education. We are excited to offer a magnitude of various classes. Students are able to participate in courses dedicated to highly rigorous academics, professional readiness, dual credit college courses, and a variety of Career and Technical Education courses. Our partnership with Mohave Community College allows students to earn college credit concurrently with their high school graduation requirements.

The Kingman Unified School District's commitment to academics, arts, activities, and athletics is fulfilled at Lee Williams High School with over 100 extra-curricular clubs and activities for students. This allows LWHS to achieve our goals of providing a challenging curriculum while creating an environment that encourages all students to actively participate in a well-rounded academic career.

Our History
Originally the school was called Mohave County Union High School and was built at the corner of Fourth Street and Oak Street in downtown Kingman. A site that had been the Pioneer Cemetery, recently vacated. The school remained MCUHS for some 50 years, before later being known as Kingman High School. In 1973, the building burned down. But a new school was built on Grandview Avenue which housed the high school for another 30 years.

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 sophomores, juniors, and seniors and is located where the current campus stands. Freshmen attended the old school, Kingman High South, on Grandview Avenue.

These two campuses merged again in 2006, and the plan was to make the old building a junior high school. Lee Williams High School is proud to be an accredited high school serving over 1,000 students. Their vision? To provide your children with an educational foundation for lifelong success.

Principal's Message

HELLO LWHS VOLUNTEER FAMILIES,

I am so excited to welcome all of you to Lee Williams High School. LWHS boasts a tradition of excellence based on history and legacy. Our goal for this year is to build on the current traditions while establishing new traditions that support every student on a path toward success.

While our school is young, the history behind the school’s namesake is based on a tradition of extraordinary service. We at LWHS are proud to call ourselves “Volunteers” in honor of volunteer firefighters who responded to the scene of a derailed propane tanker in 1973. Richard Lee Williams, principal of Kingman High School and volunteer firefighter at the time, and nine of his fellow firefighters, died in the line of duty on July 5th, 1973, when the inflamed Doxol propane tanker exploded. They left behind families, friends, and an indelible mark on the hearts of the entire community. We honor their memories by taking pride in our school and making every effort to continue their legacy and to be our best selves each and every day.

At Lee Williams, we welcome all students and strive to provide opportunities that match the unique goals and needs of our students. With this in mind, LWHS is proud to offer Cambridge Preparatory Academy Classes, dual enrollment courses, traditional math, science, ELA and social studies classes, along with a wide variety of Career and Technical Education and elective courses.

Participation in extracurricular activities, including sports and clubs, is an integral part of the high school experience and provides students with a chance to grow as scholars and people. Our student clubs and organizations, performing arts groups, and athletic teams offer students the chance to be part of something positive and rewarding, while they pursue their interests. Being a Volunteer is a chance to be a part of something.

Please visit our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram. These are updated regularly and are a great way to stay informed and connected with what is happening here at Lee Williams.

Student success, in both academic and extracurricular activities, can only reach its fullest potential when we all work together. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or comments. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Hannan,
Principal
