With the rapidly expanding Hispanic student population in the Clark County school district, a demand for teachers, counselors, and administrators sensitive to the special needs of this segment of the student body became apparent. Gina Valverde White, a Cuban refugee, works to address those needs. Starting her career as a classroom teacher, she went on to become the Assistant Principal at Las Vegas High School and is now Assistant Principal of the Washington Alternative Programs School. She is shown here working with Hispanic high school students.
