Howard Heckethorn Elementary

Welcome to Howard Heckethorn Elementary!

Nestled in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, NV, Heckethorn Elementary School is a special place where young minds grow and thrive. We take great pride in our unique "Leader In Me" program, which helps our students develop important leadership skills through the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

At Heckethorn, we believe in a holistic approach to education. This means we focus not just on academic excellence, but also on nurturing strong character in our students. We want every child to shine both in their studies and as a kind, responsible individual.

As part of the Clark County School District, we offer a rigorous curriculum that aligns with the Nevada Academic Content Standards. Our dedicated teachers work hard to ensure that every student receives the best education possible.

We also know that parents play a vital role in their children's education. That's why we encourage parent involvement through various events and volunteer opportunities. Together, we can create a supportive and engaging learning environment for our children.

The school is named after Howard E. Heckethorn, a passionate educator who devoted 27 years to the Clark County School District. His legacy of commitment to education continues to inspire our school community every day.

Join us at Howard Heckethorn Elementary, where we are shaping the leaders of tomorrow!
