Beth Smith - Washoe County School Board Trustee
Beth Smith is a Washoe County School Board Trustee for District D and a mom of two young boys.
Each morning the students of Caughlin Ranch Elementary recite the School Promise, which includes “always try to do our best”. As soon as you walk the halls and step inside classrooms, it’s clear everyone takes that promise to heart. Nationally recognized as a top-performing Blue Ribbon School, CRES blends rigorous academics with a playful “Best in the West” theme environment where kids can be kids. CRES is also home to a SWAS (School Within a School) program, where gifted and talented children receive an education tailored to their abilities. At the center of CRES’s success is their heartfelt principal, Melissa Thoroughman, who leads the exceptional Colts staff through the challenges and opportunities of each year. Thanks to this team and the strong culture promoted by the school’s parent faculty association, Caughlin Ranch ElemeWashoe County School DistrictsCRES PFA.
