Welcome to NVLA! I am Mario Peraza and this is my 19th year in CCSD. I started my teaching career at an elementary school in Los Angeles, CA. I then moved to Las Vegas and taught English and Reading in Middle School while completing my first graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction at UNLV. I completed my second Master's degree in School Counseling in 2010, and I have been a school counselor since the fall of that year. In 2021, I fulfilled all National Certified Counselor (NCC) and National Board Certified School Counselor (NCSC) requirements.
