CCSD reinstates Excellence in Education Hall of Fame, honors six inductees
Summary
Clark County School District reinstated its Excellence in Education Hall of Fame and inducted six honorees (individuals and programs) recognized for long-term student impact, including Barbara Chambers, Nathan Incenbrandt, Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, Sandy Sles Miller, Joyce Woodhouse (represented), and others.
The Clark County School District reinstated its Excellence in Education Hall of Fame on March 12, 2026, honoring educators and programs selected through a blind review process for sustained student impact.
Chief Community Engagement Officer Kirsten Seir and Associate Superintendent Brad Kiting presented the 2026 cohort and noted the tradition dates to 1987. Superintendent Eert and trustees said reviving the program recognizes community members and employees who advanced access, inclusion and learning.
Inductees highlighted included Barbara Chambers, who trustees said helped build inclusive physical-education programs and the Paralympic sports club in Las Vegas; Nathan Incenbrandt, a marketing and CTE teacher credited with student mentorship and partnerships; and the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, celebrated for combining conservatory-level arts instruction and strong academics. Sandy Sles Miller and Joyce Woodhouse were recognized for statewide education leadership and long-term district initiatives; Woodhouse was represented at the ceremony by family members.
Trustees and inductees exchanged reflections about mentorship, the importance of partnerships, and the role of leadership in building district programs. The board recessed for a short break after the presentations.
Why it matters: The Hall of Fame highlights long-term, measurable contributions to student outcomes and community engagement across CCSD, and the board said the recognition restores a public tradition to celebrate educators and programs that have sustained impact.
What27s next: Inductees and attendees were invited to receive congratulations and photos; trustees opened the floor for comments and asked inductees to offer brief remarks to the board and community.
