We are honored to celebrate the exceptional coaches who have a profoundly positive impact on the lives of our students.
The Student Athletic District Office is thrilled to highlight these remarkable leaders!
We are proud to nominate Coach Patricia Eliason for the Coaches Spotlight because she embodies professionalism, dedication, and passion in every aspect of her work as our Swimming and Cross Country coach. For over a decade she has coached at her alma mater, Coach Eliason has consistently fielded competitive teams while also serving as a model and mentor for other coaches on our campus. She masters the behind-the-scenes details such as paperwork and organization, but more importantly, she excels in building strong, positive team cultures that allow athletes to grow both in and out of competition. Her ability to connect with students, inspire them, and push them to reach their potential has left a lasting impact year after year. Coach Eliason’s longevity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to her athletes make her truly deserving of this recognition.
Coach Daren Stewart is truly deserving of this recognition because of his unwavering commitment to our students, his professionalism, and the positive example he sets every day. He consistently demonstrates integrity and resilience, regardless of the challenges he faces.
Coach Stewart approaches every situation with a positive attitude and provides constructive feedback to his student-athletes in a way that encourages growth and confidence. Recently, when we faced unexpected issues with our gym floor, he pivoted seamlessly, taking the lead in directing our tournament at an alternate site with grace and professionalism.
As a long-standing member of the Las Vegas High School community, Coach Stewart’s dedication extends beyond the court. His own children have participated in athletics at LVHS, and he has continually stepped up when our school needed him most.
