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

November is here, and a quarter of the 2024–2025 school year is over!

We had our honor assemblies last month in the elementary and middle school. We also had our math night at the elementary/middle school and Scholastic book fair. We had great success at all of these events. 

We also had a fall festival at press time. It is always a great community event. We will have pictures and more details about the event next month.

The high school was busy last month with homecoming events, sporting competitions, flying rockets, and CNA classes.

One special event in October at the high school was the National Honor Society induction ceremony. The 2024–2025 new inductees include the following students:

Katelynne Avila, Maitlyn Barnett, Sidney Bryan-Myers, Sage Greenwood, Karterann Mansell, Kamee Richards, Marisa Romero, Jaxon Sheldon and Emma Yarbrough. Congratulations, inductees.

I would also like to congratulate our FFA students who competed in the county and state fairs. Those students are:

November will be busy with our Veteran’s Day assembly on November 8 at 9:00 a.m. in the high school gym, state sporting competitions/playoffs, and our yummy Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, November 21. State playoff dates and times will be posted on our social media and website.

We would like to congratulate science teacher Mrs. Carter for being awarded a $2,000 grant for her classroom and named a Voya Unsung Hero. This award recognizes her innovative work with the Systems Go CTE Pathway. Congratulations, Mrs. Carter!

We also had a lot of generous donations at the last school board meeting. I want to thank these organizations for supporting our students.

I hope everyone has a very nice and relaxing Thanksgiving break. We will be off November 25–29.
