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.

Cloudcroft School Spotlight

October 2026

Dear Cloudcroft Bears,

October may be one of my favorite times of year in Cloudcroft. The mornings are crisp, the aspens begin showing off their beautiful colors, and there is a special feeling in the air as our community settles into fall. Around town, you can feel the excitement that comes with this season—and that same energy can be felt throughout our schools.

As we reach the midpoint of the first semester, I want to take a moment to recognize how much our students and staff have already accomplished. The first quarter comes to an end on October 9, and report cards will be sent home on October 15. These milestones give us an opportunity to celebrate the progress our students have made while also thinking about where we want to grow during the remainder of the semester.

Go, Bears!
