At a news conference on Jan. 31, Clark County School District Superintendent Dwight D. Jones, along with representatives from the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Workforce Connections and United Way of Southern Nevada, called on the community to mentor at-risk high school seniors toward graduation through the Reclaim Your Future program.
“I’ve said ultimately we need our community to own these schools and raise the expectations we have of our young people,” said Superintendent Dwight D. Jones. “I am happy to report that our partners, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, Workforce Connections and United Way of Southern Nevada, have embraced the reform efforts in our schools and have stepped up for the students of Southern Nevada. The Reclaim Your Future initiative is making a difference in the graduation rate and the lives of students and is proving that our community cares about increasing the achievement of our young people.”
