This event gives students a space to express who they are and celebrate their culture through the arts. From dance performances to personal stories, students share the traditions, identities, and experiences that shape them.
More than anything, ENLACE provides a safe and supportive platform where students can embrace their heritage, be proud of who they are, and have their voices heard.

To kick off the celebration, we’re highlighting the incredible community involvement in our schools.
The team from Leadership Las Cruces joined staff from Las Cruces Public Schools to tour several of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. At Las Cruces High School, they toured Bulldawgs Blooms, our student-run flower shop, and even made their own bouquets. They visited welding classes to see students showcase their skills.
At Rio Grande Preparatory Institute, students led tours of culinary and construction classes. The visit wrapped up with history presentations from freshman honors students across all high schools.
Partnerships like these help our community leaders see how they can support the next generation of Las Cruces leaders!
Pre-K–12 public, private, and tribal schools across New Mexico can apply for up to $1,000 to support STEM-related expenses through the National Lieutenant Governors Association 2026 Lt. Governors’ STEM Scholarship Program.
Deadline to apply is March 6, 2026.

This photograph from the 1941 Las Cruces Union High School Yearbook captures a generation of student-athletes who helped lay the foundation for school pride in the Mesilla Valley.
In 1941, C.S. Conlee served as the Las Cruces Superintendent of Schools, J.L. Gill was the Principal, and Mel Ritchey led the football team as head coach.
Among the players pictured is Rudy Camunez (#77), whose name now lives on through the LCPS Field of Dreams Walk of Fame - a reminder that the impact of our students lasts far beyond their school years.
These faces, uniforms, and moments tell a story bigger than a season. They remind us that LCPS has always been about more than classrooms. It’s been about belonging, perseverance, and generations connected by school spirit.
If this photo brings back a memory, or if you recognize a name, we invite you to share your story.
This is Las Cruces Public Schools, then and now.

Esta será una distribución tipo drive-thru, y los alimentos estarán disponibles por orden de llegada para las primeras 75 familias. Las familias suelen comenzar a formarse un par de horas antes de la hora programada, por lo que les recomendamos amablemente llegar antes de las 9:00 a.m.
Un agradecimiento especial a Roadrunner Food Bank y a todos nuestros increíbles voluntarios que hacen esto posible. ¡Esperamos poder servir a nuestra comunidad!
