Here’s a quick roundup of what’s happening across Incline’s schools, from upcoming events and opportunities to school spirit and community involvement.
INCLINE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Incline Elementary School is off to a great start with lots of new energy on campus and growing parent involvement! The IES PTA has seen an exciting increase in participation, and new PTA President Jeff Unerverth is encouraging all parents to get involved and help support our students and teachers. Anyone interested in joining the PTA can email Jeff at: inclinepta@gmail.com
The PTA’s biggest fundraiser of the year, the annual Jog-a-Thon, is this Saturday! Please consider supporting a local student at the link below. Every dollar raised goes directly to the IES PTA, helping fund important programs and resources including PE, the Makerspace, and a variety of classroom needs.
It’s a fun way to support our students, strengthen our school community, and help make this a great year at Incline Elementary!

Successful College & Career Fair
Incline Education Fund (IEF) and IHS hosted another successful College & Career Fair at Incline High School Monday evening, bringing an impressive range of post-secondary and career opportunities directly to local students.
The well-attended event featured 17 colleges and universities from the STARS network, 14 local two- and four-year colleges, including 11 representatives from the University of Nevada, Reno, and 14 local trade organizations and employers.
For IHS students, it was a valuable opportunity to explore what comes next; from some of the nation’s top colleges and universities to hands-on, direct-to-career pathways in local industries and the trades.
The evening also reflects the thoughtful work happening at IHS to ensure students are prepared to pursue whatever post-secondary pathway is right for them… whether that means a four-year degree, community college, technical training, an apprenticeship, or entering the workforce.
