Ms. Bonilla
My name is Ms. Bonilla and I am happy to be returning as the Ruby Duncan Early Childhood Speech Center Therapist! I grew up in Las Vegas and have worked for CCSD for 10 years. Prior to working at the Speech Center, I have worked with a variety of populations and disorders within the Clark County School District. I have had the opportunity to work with students in preschool through eighth grade with developmental delays, Down Syndrome, Autism, traumatic brain injuries, language disorders, fluency disorders, articulation and phonology disorders, and apraxia. When I am not at the Speech Center, I enjoy spending time outdoors with family, friends, and my dog. 
Ms. Dallas
My name is Mrs. Dallas and this will be my third year as an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher here at Ruby Duncan! I am originally from Virginia, but my family and I have called Las Vegas our home since 2009.  I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA and my Master’s Degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Special Education from UNLV.  When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children ages 9, 10, and 16!  I’m thrilled to begin our new school year and I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to work with all of our wonderful students and families!

Ms. Loughead
My name is Mrs. Loughead and I am so excited to be teaching the Nevada Ready Pre-K class this year.  I have recently relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada from Nixa, Missouri.  This is my fourteenth year teaching and I have earned an Early Childhood Education degree and a Masters in Educational Administration from Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri.  I am currently working on my Doctoral Degree of Education in Leadership and Learning from Aspen University.
​
When I am not busy teaching, I love having time to spend with my husband and my two step daughters.  We love going on adventures to visit new places, learning about history, and experiencing new things.  My favorite part of teaching is the connections I am able to make with my students and their families.  I also love to see the excitement and the “aha” moments when they learn or experience something new.  I am thrilled to be a part of this new family at Ruby Duncan Elementary.
