Welcome to Cloudcroft Municipal Schools
Welcome to the Cloudcroft Municipal Schools Website
We are located in the Village of Cloudcroft, approximately 16 miles east of Alamogordo, New Mexico. We are proud to be the kindergarten through 12th grade education center for a large portion of the Southern Sacramento Mountains. Our schools serve Cloudcroft and the outlying communities of Mayhill, Weed, Piñon, Sacramento, and Timberon—an area covering roughly 850 square miles.
It is our honor to live in a region of great beauty within the boundaries of the Lincoln National Forest. We are also proud of the dedication our student-focused staff members display each day as they educate our students. Our teachers encourage opportunities for growth and believe in teaching from a holistic approach to nurture our students’ minds, bodies, and spirits. While we embrace our rural small town lifestyle, we also prepare our students to be well-equipped to thrive in the 21st century.
We invite you to explore our website and learn more about our schools and our people. If you have any questions, we welcome you to stop by or give us a call.
Cloudcroft Schools Spotlight
Fall is in the air! Our Cloudcroft Bears have been very busy and it will not be changing anytime soon. Sports, Sports, Sports! Please come out and support our Bears. All of the athletic schedules are on our website at www.cmsbears.org. We had some exciting sports action last month. Our Lady Bears Volleyball Team won the Mountain Top Tournament again this year!! They played hard and it paid off. We also had our home Cross Country Meet which hosted nine teams. It was a great success!!
We also had one of our most interactive Constitution Days last month. Our Senior History Class were the presenters with a lot of interactive stations and had to wear many hats when presenting from kindergarten to eleventh graders. They did an incredible job!
The Cloudcroft High School FCA hosted over 65 students and fans at 5th Quarter after one of the Bear football games last month. The food was provided by the Cloudcroft First Baptist Church. It was a great time with good food and fellowship.
The Elementary and Middle School hosted their Level Up Literacy Assembly with Ricky the Roadrunner and Ralph the Reader. It was a fun and interactive time to encourage students to Level Up their literacy scores.
We would like to showcase some of our Seniors Capstone Projects. We are very excited to have initiated this program with the Class of 2025. They are doing a great job and will be leaders for the next classes to come.
