We'd like to thank our community partners Los Leones de Mesilla. On Tuesday, they performed 251 eye screenings for students at Hermosa Heights Elementary School and wrote 84 referrals to eye doctors.
Lions Clubs International's vision screening programs help children by identifying potential vision issues and connecting them with eye doctors for further evaluation. Lions Clubs have screened millions of children and have been able to save sight. Go Lions!
Our Community Outreach team presenting to our International Welcome Center Student and Family Advisors about the importance of having engaging, collaborative meetings with our LCPS families! Together we thrive!
This Friday, LCHS will take on MHS in the longstanding rivalry game – one of the biggest in the nation since 1965! The 2024 football season will kickoff at 7pm inside LCPS Field of Dreams!

In the summer, the Las Cruces Public Schools Safe Routes to school program suffered a setback. On June 17, a storage area at Lynn middle school was broken into and nine bicycles were stolen.
Working quickly with Las Cruces police, our safe routes coordinator, Ashleigh Curry, gathered her team and started searching through social media for any tips or leads on recovering the bikes. After recognizing one of the bikes for sale on Facebook, Ashleigh notified the police, and through a series of quick investigative work, a theft ring was discovered, an arrest was made, and five of the bicycles were recovered, along with two stolen vehicles that were part of a separate investigation.
For their diligent work, Las Cruces Public Schools would like to thank Officer Austin Kane of LCPD and Lieutenant Joy Wiitala. The LCPD unit that investigated and recovered the bikes was the Community Street Crimes Unit, along with the following personnel:
Sgt. Lazarin
Sgt. Campa
Officer Smith
Officer Rodriguez
Officer. Palos
Officer Velasco
Officer Kelley
Officer Kane
Officer Mora
Officer Roybal
Officer Berling
