Historic Staff & Graduates | Fourth Ward School Museum
A diploma from the Fourth Ward High School Department was a commodity, and its graduates were sought after for teaching positions throughout northern Nevada and California. Those who wished to become teachers in Virginia City were required to pass rigorous examinations in a wide range of subjects that covered all grade levels from primary to high school. Topics included spelling, arithmetic, grammar, algebra, geometry, Latin, science, geography, chemistry, botany, American history, astronomy and hygiene (James, 2002.)
