School Name Committee Meeting 9.9.26

The Clark County School District School Name Committee convened on September 11, 2026, to discuss and approve the naming of school facilities and a new elementary school. The committee approved naming the football press box at Virgin Valley High School after Bob Snell, the baseball field at Liberty High School after Coach Rich Earb, and a portion of Liberty High School after Sharon Chadwick. Additionally, the committee reviewed naming rights proposals involving partnerships with the Gene Hos Foundation for Southeast Career and Technical Academy and Simon Memorial High School, approving both. The primary focus was the selection of a namesake for a new elementary school, with five finalists presented and discussed in detail. After public comments and committee deliberations, Joyce Woodhouse was selected as the namesake for the new elementary school. The committee emphasized the importance of honoring individuals who have made significant contributions to education and the community. The recommendation will proceed to the Board of School Trustees for final approval in October 2026.
