Driving Positive Change. Celebrating Solutions.

Partnerships within our communities – between educators, administrators, elected and appointed leaders, non-profits, families and more – are the most successful paths to sustainable, comprehensive, and successful advancements in education and mental health. Join us at this year’s Summit on Nevada Education as we celebrate the innovative partnerships and solutions that are making significant strides in education and mental health.
