This week, the College Football Playoff Foundation and the 2027 Las Vegas Host Committee, with the help of Superintendent Jhone Ebert, honored three incredible educators for their unwavering dedication to our students, and the surprises were BIG!
Each educator received $1,000 for their classroom, and each of their schools received an incredible $50,000 grant to support school makeovers focused on literacy and STEM education!
⭐️Grace Angel, Pre-K Teacher at Bunker Elementary School, is a selfless, humble, and dedicated educator who works tirelessly to elevate her entire school community.
⭐️Sonja Lawrence, 6th Grade ELA Teacher at Escobedo Middle School, is an exceptional educator who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every student has the opportunity to achieve academic excellence.
⭐️Stephanie Richmond, Pre-K Teacher at Hayden Elementary School, inspires confidence, builds connections, and makes a lasting difference in her students’ lives.
Congratulations, Grace, Sonja, and Stephanie! You represent the heart of what makes us the Destination District!
A huge THANK YOU to our incredible partners for investing in our educators, our schools, and most importantly, our students! 🏈

The first UNLV Teacher of the Game Award goes to... Ms. Yesenia Talavera!
This Orr Middle School Computer Science teacher is bringing the right game plan to the classroom, challenging students to think critically, solve problems and push beyond what they thought possible.
Her nomination praised her for “removing barriers and creating multiple pathways” for students to succeed, both in and out of the classroom.
Now, she’s taking the field! Ms. Talavera will be honored during the Rebels home opener in front of thousands of fans. Congratulations, Ms. Talavera!
