💙💛 Once a Gladiator, ALWAYS a Gladiator! 🎙️
Today, I had the incredible joy of attending the grand opening of Global Community High School’s new podcast studio!
As the former principal, my heart is FULL seeing this vision come to fruition! What excites me most isn’t just the beautiful new space, it’s the opportunities it creates for our students to share their stories, amplify their voices, and discover the power of being heard.
For our multilingual learners and newcomer students, their voices matter, their stories matter, and their perspectives deserve a platform.
This is what happens when we believe in our students and invest in their potential.
So proud of the Global Community HS team and our Gladiators! The future is looking and SOUNDING bright! 🎤✨
WE ARE GLOBAL. WE ARE ONE! 💙💛 @ClarkCountySch @CCSD_Trustees @Global_CHS

🌱 Leadership with corazón isn't just about holding a title. It's about having the courage to challenge systems, elevate voices, and open doors for others!
I'm excited to be part of NVALAS's La Semilla Institute: Corazón y Conciencia — Cultivating Sustainable Leadership! ❤️
We're bringing educators and leaders together to challenge traditional thinking, connect sentir y pensar (heart and mind), and turn courageous conversations into meaningful action.
Because let's face it — our students don't need more leaders who are comfortable with the status quo. They need leaders willing to change it! 🔥
📅 November 17 & 21 | December 1 & 5, 2026

Let's plant the seeds of change. ¡Con corazón, conciencia y mucho valor! 🌱

🔥 LEADERSHIP ISN’T ABOUT CONTROL. IT’S ABOUT COURAGE! 🔥
New superintendents. New priorities. New initiatives. New expectations. Sound familiar, educators? 👀
At the #ALAS2026 Conference, we’re having important conversations about what happens when leadership systems shift.
💥 Here’s my Chingona perspective:
Leadership isn’t about protecting your title, territory, or comfort zone. It’s about staying grounded in your VALUES when everything around you is changing.
After years in educational leadership, one thing I know for certain: Systems will change. Administrations will come and go. But our commitment to STUDENTS should NEVER be negotiable.
❤️ Lead with corazón.
💪 Adapt with courage.
🔥 Challenge what needs changing.
✊🏽 And NEVER confuse compliance with leadership!
Because transformational leaders don’t just survive change. They have the courage to shape it!

☀️ 8 AM and we’re already getting down to business in Denver!
Day 1 of the 23rd ALAS National Summit on Education kicks off with the State Affiliate Leaders Meeting!
Proud to represent NVALAS (Nevada Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents) as we connect with Latino educational leaders from across the country, exchange ideas, and strengthen our collective commitment to leadership, equity, and educational excellence.
From strategic planning to a little ¡Lotería!, we’re starting the morning with purpose, collaboration, and plenty of corazón! ❤️
When Latino leaders come together, we don’t just take a seat at the table — we help shape the future of education! 💪🏽
¡Adelante, NVALAS! 🌟

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the word of the day is “tradition.” Together with our friend Zahn McClarnon we honor Indigenous people around the world and the many ways they share their culture and traditions every day. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
Congratulations to Ms. Nicole Delgado, the newly appointed principal of Northeast Career & Technical Academy!
Principal Delgado was recognized on the CCSD Board of School Trustees agenda on Thursday. We can’t wait to see the impact she will make in this new leadership role. Please join us in congratulating her!

Latinas help power Nevada’s economy and deserve paychecks that reflect the value of their work. When Latina workers are paid less, families have less money for groceries, housing, and their children’s futures. As we mark Latina Equal Pay Day, I will keep fighting to make sure every woman in Nevada receives equal pay for equal work.
