Nevada High School’s LAUNCH program has opened its students to all types of learning opportunities. Senior Madeleine H. culminated her LAUNCH term by putting on a STEM Fair at the Nevada High School.
The mission of LAUNCH is to allow students to earn credits toward graduation by working on studies or projects that they are passionate about. For Madeleine, her focus was STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

The Nevada School District believes in learning at all levels, from students to staff.
As the education world has promoted voice and choice for students Nevada is also offering this to its staff when it comes to professional development.
Effective professional development honors the autonomy of teachers but recognizes the importance of a form of accountability grounded in that autonomy. Both are essential.
