Greetings,

I am excited to serve as the Assistant Principal of the Desert Rose Career Tech Education program for the 2024 - 2025 school year. Desert Rose has been integral to the North Las Vegas community for many years. My top priority will be preparing students to become productive citizens in school, the workplace, higher education, and life. Working with our families, students, staff, and community members is a privilege to make our school the best it can be.

The Desert Rose CTE program provides students with the academic knowledge and technical skills they need to enter high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand industries.  Students can apply to enroll in the following courses: Pharmacy Tech, Welding, Medical Assisting, Construction, Advanced Manufacturing, and Health Science. 

At Desert Rose Career Tech Education program, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to achieve their fullest potential. Our dedicated staff is committed to helping students achieve their goals and experience success.
