Board welcomes new administrators and recognizes Spring Creek High School Booster Club

The board formally introduced new administrators who have joined the Elko County School District in administrative roles for the new school year and recognized the Spring Creek High School Booster Club for recent fundraising and projects.

Superintendent CJ Anderson named newly appointed principals, vice principals and deans across multiple schools, including Jen Goll (principal, Adobe Middle School), Brent Schumacher and Christy Takadina (vice principals, Adobe Middle), Tammy Smithberg (administrator, Battle Born Youth Challenge Academy), Mauro Lobato (principal, Carlin Combined School) with Allison Coppinger as vice principal in Carlin, Audrey Carr (vice principal, Elko High School), Kristen Morris (dean of students, Elko High School), Chrissy Blanchard (principal, Spring Creek Elementary School), George Zadaray (assignment noted), Jared Holloway (principal, West Wendover High School) and Tyler Peterson (vice principal, West Wendover High School). The superintendent asked administrators present to stand and be acknowledged. Several attendees accepted congratulations and a photo opportunity.

The board also recognized the Spring Creek High School Booster Club for fundraising that produced $165,000 in community support. The funds were used to build an athletic equipment storage facility near the football field and a press box overlooking the baseball field; booster members previously facilitated relocation of a track fence to enable regional meets. Board members named and thanked booster leadership and volunteers attending the meeting, including chair Molly Pop, vice chair Barry Sorensen, secretary Rachel Bazzetti and treasurer Todd Sorensen among others.

The introductions and recognition were ceremonial and no formal governance action was taken in these agenda items.
