RED ROCK ACADEMY PRESS STATEMENT
CONTACT: Lawrence Howell, Executive Director at 702.262.8080

Our organization is proud of our solid 30-year history in the challenging field of juvenile justice. Over
that time, we have achieved one of the most consistent and successful rates of student safety and
achievement in the country.
For the past three decades, our agency has worked with some of the most difficult youth in the country
that are traditionally underserved or ignored by rehabilitative, treatment and education programs. We
were grateful for opportunity to develop these services in Las Vegas, and were working with parents,
families and stakeholders to create a safe, local, secure treatment program.
We are disappointed by the recent decision, as the facility was on target to become a national
accredited correctional model, recognized by community stakeholders, families and regulators alike. Our
organization will continue to place the best interest of the students we serve first.
