Trustees approved the naming of two school facilities brought forward by CCSD’s School Naming Committee for one new elementary school and one new middle school. The Board approved the following two school namesakes for CCSD:
Hannah Marie Brown School
Hannah Marie Brown’s life story is one of dedication and commitment to giving back in many arenas, as evidenced by her continuing efforts to provide assistance and encouragement in education. Through her leadership and dedication to the 501(c)(3) Hannah Brown Community Development Corporation, hundreds of CCSD students have received thousands of dollars to continue their education. She negotiated a grant from the Las Vegas Centennial Committee to refurbish her alma mater, Westside Grammar School, to a historical cultural center. Ms. Brown has also served for two decades on various advisory committees for CCSD.

Barry and June Gunderson School
Raised in Clark County, Barry and June Gunderson’s story traces back to the 1960s, when enrollment for the Clark County School District (CCSD) was around 25,000 students. Graduating from Valley and Clark High Schools in 1970, Barry and June set off to further their education, returning to CCSD as educators in 1974. As educators and administrators, they were instrumental in shaping the District as it expanded. Together, with 60 years of combined service to CCSD, the Gundersons have mentored thousands of teachers, counseled hundreds of administrators, and served tens of thousands of students.
