Yearbooks have arrived. If you pre-ordered a book online, your child should have received theirs today. If you didn't pre-order one, we have extra copies to sell for $25. Don't delay. Once they are all gone, that's it.
Reminder for the Class of 2025!
You're invited to take part in a heartwarming tradition — the Senior Walk. As you don your caps and gowns and walk the hallways one last time, you'll have the chance to reconnect with the teachers, staff, and friends who helped shape your early years.
It’s a special moment to reflect on how far you’ve come, share smiles and memories, and celebrate the journey ahead. Check the flyer for dates and times!

A huge thank-you to the BLM Las Cruces District! Last week, their amazing team, alongside special guests Smokey Bear and Seymour the Antelope, helped educate thousands of fourth graders from across Doña Ana County at the 11th Annual Children's Water Festival!
This hands-on outreach event, sponsored by the City of Las Cruces Utilities Water Conservation Program, focused on fun and interactive ways to teach students about conserving our precious natural resources.
We’re grateful for the continued partnership and commitment to inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards!
