School attendance zones will be a topic of a meeting set for this week.

The Clark County School District Attendance Zone Advisory Commission will hold a meeting at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the district's offices, 2832 East Flamingo Road.

According to the agenda, the advisory commission will discuss public comments made in previous meetings and hear from anyone who wants to talk about zoning changes.

The district is looking at three different proposals to change school zoning in the southwest part of the Las Vegas valley in an effort to relieve overcrowding. 

Two students from Las Vegas have been selected to be part of the United States Senate Youth Program.

Natasha Greene of Las Vegas High School and Cindy Thai of Durango High School will be part of the 104 students delegates at the 51st annual program that will be held March 9 through 16 in Washington, D.C.

The program was created in 1962 and is funded by The Hearst Foundations. Every year it brings together some of the top students from around the country for a week-long study of the federal government.

Both Greene and Thai are outstanding students at their schools and have held several leadership roles.

The Liberty Patriots have done it again. They are the Sunrise Region's football champions again in 2012, completing the quest for the three-peat.

Liberty (11-1) defeated the Coronado Cougars (9-3) Saturday, 59-20, to claim the Sunrise Region title and have advanced to the state title game. This marks the first time the Patriots are in the state title game for football.

“I was extremely happy with the performance of the team against Coronado. It was our best-played game of the year,” Head Coach Rich Muraco said.

The Patriots will now take on local powerhouse Bishop Gorman (12-1) at 12:15 PM Saturday at UNLV’s Sam Boyd Stadium.

Gorman defeated Reed High School (Reno), 49-24, over the weekend to clinch their spot in the game. This will be the second time the teams meet in as many years.
