Our Principal, Jill Keith, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, two Master’s Degrees, one in Early Childhood Special Education and one in Educational Leadership, and an Advanced Study Certification in Gifted Education. She served in the Clark County School District as a Kindergarten, Second Grade, and Eighth Grade Teacher, a teacher in the Gifted and Talented Education classroom with Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Students, as the Assistant Principal for four years at Gibson and most recently as the Principal of Gibson Elementary.

 

During her time as a general education teacher, Mrs. Keith was a Grade Level Chair and inclusion teacher. As a Facilitator in Gifted Programs Education Services, she collaborated with and mentored teachers and trained parents of gifted students, while still working closely educating students. 

 

Mrs. Keith also served in a supplemental position in the Employee Onboarding Department on the Teacher Leader Team.  In this capacity, she collaborated with teachers on advancing cognitive demand, and creating and delivering curriculum which offers students metacognitive opportunities for increasing understanding and taking responsibility for learning.

 

Her goals are to promote quality instructional practices, to analyze data to increase student growth, achievement, and proficiency, to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment through character education, to engage parents and families as advocates for education, and to ensure high-quality customer service with stakeholders.

 

Mrs. Keith enjoys sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge while inspiring her fellow educators as they strive to positively impact the lives of our students, families, and our surrounding community.
