In 1967, the brand new Humboldt County High School was opened and then renamed Albert M. Lowry High School in honor of the late Albert M. Lowry. A true Nevadan, Lowry was born in Tollhouse, Nevada in 1897. He graduated from the University of Nevada and, in 1925, began teaching science and coaching three sports in Winnemucca. Lowry served the students of Humboldt County as a teacher, coach, principal, assistant superintendent and as the director of the Nevada Education Association. Lowry retired in 1966 and passed away on May 5th, 1989. One of Nevada's first sporting legends, Lowry was instrumental in putting Humboldt County School on the map. His basketball team won 11 district or league championships and finished as the runner-up in the Nevada State Tournament. As a track coach, he led his team's to Nevada Championships in 1928, 1930 and 1936. Lowry was also an integral part of introducing six-man football to some of Nevada's smaller schools. In 1941, Lowry was chosen as Nevada's Outstanding Coach. Lowry served as president of the NIAA for 14 years and was chosen three times to be a delegate to the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations. In 1993, Lowry was inducted into the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association Hall of Fame.
