Administrative History
In the Act of the Nevada legislature, approved February 7, 1887, the President of the University, under the direction of the Board of Regents, was required "to establish and maintain training or model schools, and require the pupils of the University to teach and instruct classes therein." The intention of the statute was to support the State Normal School by giving opportunity to those preparing themselves for the work of teaching to acquire practical experience as instructors before their graduation. The training school was opened as a public school, grades one through eight, in September 1888, affiliated with the Normal Department, with student teachers supervised by Miss Kate N. T. Tupper, Principal of the Training School. The University High School began operation during the 1896-1897 school year, offering a three-year course of study to prepare students for the University Schools of Science and the School of Liberal Arts.
