Western Nevada College’s adult education program — better known as ACCEL — is extremely proud of one of their students excelling at a national event.
Lakisha Taylor recently won a gold medal in the 100-meter dash at the USA Special Olympics Games in Orlando, Fla.
“Her gold medal win for the 100-meter dash at the 2022 Special Olympics in Orlando is a result of her dedicated and fierce spirit,” said ACCEL Director and HSE Chief Examiner Angela Andrade-Holt. “Way to go, Lakisha! We are so proud of you!”
Lakisha is enrolled in High School Equivalency preparation classes in the ACCEL College and Career Readiness program at WNC. She is preparing to become a preschool teacher.
“She loves children and she is a great role model for perseverance and self-advocacy,” Andrade-Holt said. “We applaud her for her successes both inside and outside of the classroom.”
