History Opened in August of 2003 at 434 Washington Street in Reno. 74 total students in year one. Washoe County School District sponsored as a project- based, interdisciplinary high school with a community focus.

History Rainshadow relocated to current building in 2008 with the hope that the change would be beneficial to its programming. In the fall of 2012, the school administrator determined that as there was no new money coming in, and the most responsible decision would be to close. He shared this information with the school board, and they agreed. A teacher cut of 5% in 2007, followed by a pay freeze. Loss of teachers, and a possible additional cut.

School Closing Notified public, and the Redfield Foundation, in February that we would close. In March, the Redfield Foundation came back with another anonymous foundation to offer the school a $200,000 gift.
