Washoe Schools: New Leaders, New Buildings | Reno News

Washoe County Schools kicks off a bold new academic year with fresh leadership, big investments, and exciting changes. Superintendent Tiffany McMaster begins her first full term amid enrollment dips and budget challenges, backed by Deputy Don Angotti—a former Houston Astros coach and longtime educator. Fourteen schools welcome new principals, while two stunning new campuses open: Stead Elementary ($54M, 700-student capacity) and Vaughn Middle School ($125M, cutting-edge facilities). Kindergarteners start school on Day 1, real-time bus tracking via app eases parental anxiety, and lacrosse joins the high school sports lineup for both boys and girls. Plus, Trustee Adam Mayberry will step down in November to run for city council, setting up an election to fill his seat. It’s a dynamic, forward-looking start for the district.
