Sean Parker has a mission: In 10 years, Las Vegas will be globally known as the equity-centered education innovation capital of the world. It may seem like a lofty goal, but Parker will prove it can be done.
Parker is an advocate for education and believes that it’s a moral, social and economic imperative that our education system serves all students. He leads with a kids-first mentality while tackling issues of racism, economic disparity and other systemic problems within schools. During his five years as executive director of Teach for America Las Vegas, he has supported more than 700 education leaders, who in turn have reached over 240,000 students in Clark County.
His love for the community also drives his involvement in other organizations, including the CCSD Teacher Recruitment & Retention Advisory Commission. Drawing inspiration from TFA’s students, teachers, staff, advisory board and community partners, Parker intends to change the world—one classroom at a time.
