A former Macy’s at Boulevard Mall is now buzzing with middle schoolers instead of shoppers! Western Youth Leadership, Engagement, and Empowerment Middle School (WYLEES) has turned 46,000 square feet of retail space into classrooms, giving students a learning environment that feels more like a magical castle than a department store. With project-based learning and tight security, families are warming up to this creative approach. It’s not just about new walls—this shift could signal a bigger trend of reimagining empty malls as vibrant community spaces. Would you send your kids to a school in a mall? #Education #K12 #LasVegas
