Tonight, the #8 SEED Las Cruces Bulldawgs take on the #9 SEED Rio Rancho Rams in the first round of the 2026 NMAA Nusenda Credit Union State Championships!
This week, we’re going way back nearly 80 years - to 1947 at Las Cruces Union High School.

Pictured are members of the Student Council: Philip Neale, president; Basil Brazil, vice president; Alberta Curry, secretary; and their sponsor, Mrs. Garwardine.

Photos like this offer a remarkable window into the earliest chapters of our district’s history. The clothing, the hairstyles, the brick walls and even the name Las Cruces Union High School remind us just how much has changed since 1947. But one thing has remained constant: students stepping forward to lead, serve and help shape their school community.

For almost eight decades, generations of students have added their own voices, traditions and stories to the history we share today.

This is Las Cruces Public Schools, then and now.

We’re heading back to 1976 at Las Cruces High School, where four students were recognized as National Merit Scholarship semifinalists: Bill Rowan, Ellen Coy, Carol Root and Jim Larson.

Their recognition reflected not only individual academic achievement, but also a long tradition of scholarship and excellence at Las Cruces High School. Moments like this are a reminder that generations of students have challenged themselves, represented their schools with pride and helped build the legacy our students continue today.

This is Las Cruces Public Schools, then and now.

We’re heading back to 1980, when making a call between classes meant finding a campus phone, waiting your turn and hoping you had enough time before the bell rang.

This photo captures a simple moment of student life at LCHS, but it also shows just how much the way students connect and communicate has changed over the years. No texts, no group chats, no smartphones in every pocket, just a phone on the wall and a few friends gathered nearby.

Some things change. The conversations, friendships and memories made at school never do.

This is Las Cruces Public Schools, then and now.
