I am a Las Vegas native and a product of the Clark County School District. I wish I could have had the opportunities like these students have. Each student is placed according to skill and ability in each subject instead of just focusing on grade level. Children who need extra help in math or reading can have the individualized attention while still being challenged in their other subjects. Throughout the year these students get involved in community and charitable events.
Last year the Leadership class ran a coat and food drive for the homeless, and they are already planning involvement in other service projects for this school year. These children have amazing opportunities to learn courage, compassion, and commitment. They are leaders.
