Welcome to the Cloudcroft Municipal School's 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.

July 2026

Dear Bears,

I hope you are having an enjoyable summer and finding ways to relax while taking advantage of the wonderful mountain weather. Although many of our staff and students are enjoying a well-deserved break, preparations for the 2026–2027 school year are already in full swing. Throughout the summer, our custodial and maintenance teams have been working diligently to deep clean classrooms, wax and refinish floors, complete repairs, inspect building systems, improve our grounds, and tackle numerous maintenance projects across the district. Their dedication ensures that our schools remain safe, clean, welcoming, and well-maintained for every student, staff member, and visitor. At the same time, teachers, administrators, and support staff are planning curriculum, preparing classrooms, and coordinating professional learning to ensure another outstanding year for our students. While summer offers a chance to recharge, it is also one of our busiest seasons as we prepare to welcome everyone back for another successful school year.
