Meet the District A candidates for Clark County School Board
Henderson residents Emily Stevens and Karl Catarata will compete for the Trustee A position on the Clark County School Board in the Nov. 5 election. The two came in first and second in the June primary, with Stevens receiving 400 more votes than Catarata.
District A encompasses much of Henderson, as well as Boulder City and Laughlin.
Stevens, a mother of two, said she has witnessed the education system firsthand, and her business and community experience have given her the skills to “move the needle” on the school board. She went to a school in the district for one year growing up but spent most of her childhood homeschooled or in private school. Her own children attended charter schools and then to CCSD high school, where her youngest is in his senior year.
She serves as the vice president of business development for SCE Credit Union — a job in which she said she works to engage in the community and create partnerships. She also serves on the board for several high schools and education groups.
Catarata went to CCSD schools and described himself as being fueled by family and education. At 26, he does not have any kids in the school district yet — though he said his kids will go to CCSD schools when it is time.
