Yes.
Jhone Ebert is the first woman to permanently serve as the superintendent of Clark County School District (CCSD).
The previous superintendents who led CCSD since its establishment in 1956 were men, the CCSD Archives website shows. A spokesperson for CCSD also confirmed in an email on March 24 that Ebert “will be the first woman to permanently hold the superintendent role.”
Ebert is assuming the role from interim superintendent Brenda Larsen-Mitchell, who was appointed on a temporary basis after Jesus Jara’s resignation in 2024.
Maude Frazier, a woman, served as the superintendent of the Las Vegas Union School District from 1927 to 1947, though that school district was one of about a dozen in Clark County until CCSD was formally organized in the 1950s.
