LAS VEGAS, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMS proudly announces the opening of its new Nellis Campus, alongside the appointment of Dr. Andrea Tee as the campus’ founding principal. This milestone marks an exciting new chapter for The Academy of Math and Science commitment to student success, innovation, and strong community partnerships.
As an experienced school leader, Dr. Tee has demonstrated a deep commitment to student success, dedication to supporting and developing teachers as professionals, commitment to student belongingness and success, and student academic growth and achievement. She is widely respected and trusted by families, staff, and the community. As someone who has served and lives in the community, she has a vested interest in not only the success of this school for its students and families but for this community.
“Opening a new school is incredibly meaningful to me because it’s about creating opportunities for students and families from day one,” said Dr. Andrea Tee. “At the center of my work has always been a commitment to students and families. I believe all students deserve a safe, supportive environment with high expectations and caring adults who believe in the power of their potential. I’m excited to serve the AMS Nellis community and build something special together.”
Strengthening Student Support Through Community Partnerships
As part of its whole student approach to education, AMS Nellis is also proud to announce strategic partnerships with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and 24 Apparel, further enhancing support for students beyond the classroom.
The collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada will provide high-quality before and after-school care, and after-school programs, that offer students a safe, structured, and enriching environment. These programs, including STEM based activities, arts & crafts, and sports, will help AMS Nellis students with academic support, youth development, and character building.
In addition, AMS’s partnership with 24 Apparel will bring expanded opportunities for student and teacher enrichment, mentorship, and engagement through sports clinics, hosting spirit days, and teacher appreciation luncheons.
“People often say it takes a village to raise and educate a child, and throughout my career I’ve found that to be absolutely true,” said Dr. Andrea Tee. “A well-rounded education and strong systems of support are critical to our students’ success, and schools cannot do this work alone. We are proud to partner with organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and Team 24, and we are continuing to expand our partnerships with organizations such as Clark County Community and Recreation Centers to help ensure both students and families have access to a broad system of supports, mentorship, and opportunities that help them thrive both inside and outside the classroom.”
