Hey Lummis Lasers! I’m Gina Campbell, your new Lummis Principal. I was previously your Assistant Principal for the past two school years and have been honored with the promotion to Principal
I was born and raised in Michigan and am a proud graduate of Eastern Michigan University, where I earned my Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education. I moved to Nevada and began my career at Linda Rankin Givens Elementary School here in Summerlin, as a fifth grade teacher. I taught there for 10 years before making the leap into administration. I received my Masters of Education in Advanced Teaching and Leadership with a Specialization in Administration from Sierra Nevada University and attended Clark County School District’s Leadership Program. From there, I journeyed over to the Centennial area to become the Dean of Students at Justice Myron E. Leavitt Middle School. I spent three years as the Dean, and was anxious to get back into elementary. I soon became the Assistant Principal of Ruthe Deskin Elementary School, Billy and Rosemary Vassiliadis Elementary School, and finally Lummis Elementary School. Now, I am in my third year as a Lummis Laser and am honored to be a part of the Lummis team here at William E. Lummis Elementary!
My wonderful husband Michael is a Police Lieutenant and we have identical twin girls, who were born in 2017. Our adventurous family enjoys weekend getaways in our RV, hiking Red Rock Canyon, running half marathons, and watching movies. When I’m able to sneak away for me time, you can find me hanging out with my soccer team at Las Vegas Indoor Soccer. Our family believes that staying active, trying new things, and always being supportive of one another is the key to remaining healthy and happy. My educational philosophy is simple, “Students want to know how much you care before they care how much you know.” Building relationships with our students is the foundation of what we do as educators. It is imperative that our students can rely on us, trust us, and seek us out when they need assistance, and I look forward to building those relationships with not only our students, but with our community as well. Let’s make this a great year, together!

Hello Lummis Community! My name is Mrs. Young, and I am honored to serve as your new Assistant Principal. I grew up in Western New York and received my bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education at Daemen College in Amherst, NY. I have my master's in Curriculum and Instruction and a master's in Administration, both received from the University of Phoenix. I worked as a special education teacher for two years before transitioning to Las Vegas in 2004. I was recently the Assistant Principal at Ruby Duncan for the 22-23 School Year. I have taught in various grade levels, was a humanities specialist, and a literacy strategist. Attending a week-long leadership training in Boston, Massachusetts, at Harvard University is my favorite educational experience. My daughter is a CCSD student in 6th grade, and my husband is an executive chef of a Las Vegas Hotel. We love going to the movies, attending Knights games, listening to live music, and traveling to beach resorts in and out of our country. I am excited to work alongside Ms. Campbell, learn all the Laser traditions, and look forward to a great school year!
