Redevelop That!

McCaw School of Mines with Phil Luna

Derek Allen Season 1 Episode 15

Located on 1.4 acres of property adjacent to the Gordon McCaw STEAM Academy campus, the McCaw School of Mines was developed in the early 1990’s through the efforts of then Gordon McCaw Elementary School Principal Janet Dobry.  Our vision is to educate Nevada’s youth and the broader public on the importance of mineral resources.

 Our mission is to provide free or low-cost field trips for Nevada’s students and host public days which serve to educate, enrich and entertain all who visit the McCaw School of Mines on the impact mineral resources have on our lives.

​We believe that making the connection between mineral use and the process by which minerals are obtained (mining) is critically important. Our efforts focus on making this connection with all who visit.
