History

Wells High School was established in 1914 and suffered extensive damage in 2008 when Wells, Nevada was hit with a 6.0 earthquake.[3]

Wells High School's gymnasium and auditorium building had significant damage from the shaking and required $2.478 million worth of work that was completed by the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year (about 6 months). This project was achieved and the building was indeed ready for use by the beginning of the school year. Earthquake damage was repaired in an up-to-code fashion, but only those elements that were damaged were repaired. Thus, the building was partially seismically strengthened.[4]
