Our diversity defines our community. More than 154 languages are spoken in CCSD classrooms, and our educators, staff, students, and families come from across the world to this crossroads of a global culture where the city of Las Vegas meets the stunning red rocks of the southwest.
In recent years, CCSD has been the fastest-growing district in the country, building more than 110 new schools since 2000, including six new Career & Technical Academies and some of the top magnet schools in the nation. Every day of the school year, in every classroom in our district, we are focused on providing academic services that prepare all students – regardless of their background or the language they speak at home – with a quality education that will prepare them for success in college or a career.
