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.

Dear Bears,

Welcome to the 3rd quarter, a time of year typically marked by demanding academics, wintry weather, and a full calendar of activities. On the academic front, our dedicated staff continue to guide learners in meaningful ways and our students consistently rise to the challenge. Our 2024–2025 NM Vistas District Report Card reflects this high performance, which we will keep striving for every day. All students are receiving excellent instruction in both core and elective subjects, and having plenty of fun in the process. We have 33 high school students taking dual credit classes and earning high marks. As a staff, we provide data-driven instruction while building strong relationships and championing each students’ success.
