History
In 1992, the Henderson International School, formerly known as Warren-Walker, was founded.
In August 1999, Warren-Walker added an additional campus at 1165 Sandy Ridge Avenue, Henderson, Nevada, 89052. This additional campus allowed Warren-Walker to expand classes from preschool through High School (Pre-12). Warren-Walker was governed by a Board of Directors made up of parent volunteers through 2006.
During the fall of 2005, the Board of Directors was approached by Meritas LLC, a company seeking to build a number of private schools around the world, with an offer to take over the school. At the time, Meritas owned one school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida - the North Broward Preparatory School. After considering the Meritas offer, the Board of Directors approved the sale.
Over the course of the first ten months, Meritas invested over $4M in a new athletic field for the Upper School, technology upgrades for both campuses, a new pool, an outdoor café, a school store, a digital media studio for high school students, and a number of new teachers. In addition, the new leaders introduced the International Baccalaureate program into the middle school curriculum.
In 2010 the high school and two of the three campuses were forced to close due to financial difficulties.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
