School Name Committee
The purpose of this committee is to review naming nominations for unnamed Clark County School District facilities, including schools, central office locations and areas within schools (for example, libraries and sports facilities).
Two School Board trustees serve as members of the committee:
- Chairperson and Board of School Trustees representative, Tameka Henry
- Board of School Trustees representative, Linda Cavazos
- CCSD administrator representative, Abigail Johnson
- CCSD teacher representative, Michael Patterson
- Parent representative, Bradley Combs, Esq
- Community representative, Piper Overstreet-White
- Community representative, Leonardo Benavides, Esq
One of the highest honors bestowed upon an individual who has made an everlasting impact in the Clark County community is to become a school namesake. The motivation for this naming opportunity is to honor educators, students, and community leaders of the highest character, while providing Clark County school children with role models, and a sense of the rich history and diversity of the Southern Nevada community.
Clark County School District Policy 7223, Naming of Schools and Education-Related Facilities, outlines the criteria for naming District facilities and portions of facilities, the selection process, and the make-up of the School Name Committee.
Questions may be directed to the Government Relations Department at 702-799-1080 or via email at SNC@nv.ccsd.net.
Naming a Portion of a Facility
(Including libraries, gyms, stadiums, conference rooms, etc.)
If you are considering naming a portion of your school/nonschool facility in honor of an individual (or if you have informally named a portion of your facility without approval from the School Name Committee) please submit an application. Applications require administration approval from the facility.
Please submit the application and all required supporting information to Clark County School District, Government Relations Department, 5100 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV, 89146 or to SNC@nv.ccsd.net.
