McCaw
School of Mines
Welcome to The McCaw School of Mines
The McCaw School of Mines is an introduction to mining for elementary school students. It is the only mine in the country attached to a school. Though described as a museum the McCaw School of Mines is actually more of a hands on experience.
The mine was developed through a collaborative effort between educators and school officials, the business community, and local government as a part of the on-going commitment to our youth. The McCaw students are participating in all phases of the project from concept, to design, to site survey, construction, and eventually, operations. The mine was developed exclusively on an all volunteer basis and through funding and donations.
