We are excited that 160 of our students from Elko, Spring Creek, and Jackpot High Schools had the chance to tour the Health Science departments at Great Basin College to see postsecondary healthcare training in action.
The Q&A, lab tours, and interactive demos showed them exactly what their next steps look like. Invest in a skill, invest in a career!

Dear ECSD Families,
This afternoon, there was an inadvertent pressing of a Centegix badge that triggered a brief lockdown at Spring Creek area schools and it may have caused lockdown notices at others in the District.
Please know there was no threat or emergency. Everyone is safe.
We apologize for the false alarm and any concern it may have caused. As always, the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for your continued support.

🏈 What a day for Owyhee Combined School!
The Las Vegas Raiders gave the Owyhee Braves—representing the Shoshone-Paiute Tribe—an unforgettable experience. The students met pro football players, toured the Intermountain Health Performance Center and even attended an NFL game!
As part of Nike’s N7 program, which supports Indigenous communities, the team also received a surprise gift: brand-new uniforms made possible by a special Nike grant.
To top it all off, they got to cheer on the Raiders at Monday night’s game against the Chargers!
