Judith Steele Elementary School
One Team, One Dream, One Goal
Administration
My name is Jennifer Gerber and I am so proud to serve as your principal at Judith Steele Elementary School. I was born here in Las Vegas and also attended the Clark County School District! As a teacher, I have taught 1st , 3rd, and 4th grade. I have also served as a reading interventionist for second language students here in the valley. In addition, I have been an administrator since 2009, working with both students and staff who continue to amaze me each and every day. During my administrative career, I have focused mainly on helping students find their voice and learn to take ownership of their achievements and responsibility for their choices. I am looking forward to seeing our students shine throughout this year!
Keeping it in the education family, I married my husband, Matt, who is a local high school Physics teacher. Together, we are raising two amazing daughters. Both love to dance and keep us on our toes. When we aren’t at dance competitions or cheering on the Aggies at a Friday night football game, you can find us enjoying all that Las Vegas has to offer or spending time with our wonderful friends and family.
I truly believe that all students can achieve when they are given a clear roadmap and support and encouragement along the way. We are stronger when those around us believe in us and are waiting in the wings to celebrate our accomplishments. My goal is to help our young scholars feel like every day has the potential to be amazing and that each of them are just one step away from greatness!
I am excited and honored to be a part of the Steele Family and I’m eager to work with all of the students and families. My philosophy is that ALL students can achieve if they are given the proper guidance, support and care. Together, we can continue to achieve academic excellence and have fun along the way.
I was born in Boston, MA but grew up in a very small town in Arizona. Las Vegas has been my home since 1997 and I have worked for CCSD for 29 years. In this time, I’ve held positions in kindergarten, 2nd grade, 4th grade, library and assistant principal. My husband, my three grown children and my six grandchildren are the light of my life and we enjoy getting together for cookouts and family gatherings.
I am extremely humbled and excited to work at such a dedicated school and I look forward to a great school year as a Stallion.
Hello, Steele families!
My name is Susie Gant, and I am honored to join Judith Steele Elementary as your new Assistant Principal. This year marks my 26th year in education and my 20th year as a school administrator. For the past 14 years, I proudly served as the Assistant Principal at Schorr Elementary School. Prior to that, I was a Dean of Students at both Del Sol High School and Woodbury Middle School.
My husband, Eric, and I have been married for 19 years. He is also an educator and currently serves as an assistant principal at Southwest Career and Technical Academy. Together, we have two wonderful teenagers. Our son, Colton, will be a senior at Southwest Tech, where he serves as the Varsity Captain of the school's winning Mario Kart gaming team. Our daughter, Kinley, will be a sophomore at Liberty High School, where she is a varsity cheerleader. She also competes in All-Star cheer, a sport that has been a huge part of our family's life for many years.
I am thrilled to become a Stallion and look forward to meeting our students, families, and staff. Building strong relationships and partnering with families are incredibly important to me, and I am excited to get to know the Steele community. I can't wait to help make this an amazing school year for all of our students!
