For educators, students are the heart of why they show up day after day to inspire, encourage, teach, and motivate.

And for students, the teachers who go the extra mile are never forgotten.

Behind every student is a teacher who believed in them. Teachers have long been a source of inspiration, guidance, and encouragement.

Every student can name someone who changed their life simply by never giving up on them. Today, we’re giving students the chance to say thank you and share their stories.

This one comes from Lola Z.

Class of 2026

Teachers are often the first to see who we might become before we can see it ourselves. They plant ideas that take root and grow. Eventually, those ideas shape the way we think, learn, and move through the world long after graduation.

This month, we are celebrating those extraordinary teachers whose impact does not end with the final bell, but continues to echo through every life they have helped shape.

This message comes from Conner C. at Organ Mountain High School.

Flashback Friday takes us all the way back to 1929 at Las Cruces Union High School. One of the oldest photos in our collection captures the Bulldawg basketball team during an incredible run, winning four straight games at the district tournament in Deming. This marked their third consecutive Southwestern New Mexico tournament title, capped with a 14 to 23 victory over Deming.

From the yearbook itself: “the hilarious good time had by all who attended made us a jolly bunch for sometime after.”

This is Las Cruces Public Schools, then and now.

Congrats to Leah Pacheco, LCPS Athlete of the Week from LCHS. The junior Bulldawgs pitcher continues to dominate in the circle, highlighted by a seven-pitch inning against Alamogordo where she allowed just one baserunner. She’s held opponents to one or fewer earned runs in three straight outings.
