Home to the world-famous, transplanted London Bridge (right), Lake Havasu City is a growing community of some 50,000 full-time residents. Winter visitors add another 15-20,000 seasonal residents between October and April. Located on the Colorado River, Lake Havasu City offers the charm and quality of life of a small community, with easy access to amenities offered by the metropolitan areas of Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The climate of the low desert features average winter temperatures in the low 60’s, to dry warm 100’s in the summer.
With six elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school and a total enrollment of over 6,000 students, Lake Havasu Unified School District offers a rigorous academic program for all students, including programs for gifted, talented, special education and remedial students. Lake Havasu students consistently outperform the county, state and nation in national norm-referenced tests. Pre-schools, private schools and charter schools are also available in Lake Havasu City. Mohave Community College operates a full campus in Lake Havasu City with over 2,000 students, and offers specialized training for specific industries, including a comprehensive nursing program. And thanks to an agreement between Northern Arizona University and community colleges throughout the state, students have the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s or master’s degree without leaving the area.
