Pahrump back to school fair set for July 25 at PVHS

Pahrump families will have one stop for backpacks, school supplies, car seats and sports physicals when the Back to School Fair 2026 comes to Pahrump Valley High School on Saturday, July 25. The fair is scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., giving parents a morning window to handle some of the most expensive and time-sensitive parts of school prep in one place.

Students must be present to receive products and services, and families are being asked to bring any required paperwork for sports physicals. That detail matters for households trying to avoid a second trip or a missed appointment, especially when school registration, athletics and supply shopping often pile up at the same time.

Backpacks and school supplies will be available while supplies last, along with car seats while supplies last. Those limited quantities make the early arrival time especially important for families hoping to leave with the basics before they disappear. The physicals also give students a chance to clear one more hurdle before fall sports seasons begin.

The fair is being organized with a broad local network behind it, including Nye Communities Coalition, Valley Electric Association, Desert View Hospital, SilverSummit Healthplan, Leeward Renewable Energy, Pahrump Pediatrics and the Nye County School District. The mix of partners points to a practical community effort that reaches beyond school supply tables and into health care, safety and student readiness.

For Pahrump, where families often have to cover long drives and stretched household budgets, the fair offers more than convenience. It brings together the items and services that can be hardest to line up separately, from a backpack for the first day of class to a car seat and a physical for school activities. By packing those needs into a single event at Pahrump Valley High School, organizers are giving Nye County parents a clearer path to the start of the school year.
