The Clark County School District celebrated a pivotal moment with the opening of the new Ruby S. Thomas Elementary School campus. This event wasn’t just a ribbon-cutting; it was a celebration of resilience and community strength. After overcoming a challenging transition across three different locations, the school community emerged united and ready for a promising future.
Principal Michael Stosek expressed optimism, noting, “I’m excited about it given that we just successfully made it through a one-year transitional period at a different location… I’m sure the next few years are going to be exciting, but I’m also sure they’re going to be successful.” His words highlight the dynamic spirit of the school and its commitment to positive change.
Gratitude was at the heart of the ceremony, with thanks directed toward students, parents, educators, and the professionals who brought the school’s vision to life. The new campus, originally built in 1966, now features top-tier technology, energy-efficient systems, and unique outdoor learning spaces, including a school garden. This modern facility sets the stage for a thriving educational environment, heralding a new era for the community.
