This is a reminder that we will have a Parent and Swimmer Meeting on Thursday, October 30th at 5:00 PM in the Las Cruces High School Library. This meeting is mandatory for all 8th graders and high school swimmers who are interested in joining the team and did not attend the Zoom meeting last week.
The swim season officially begins on November 3rd, with tryouts scheduled for November 3rd and 4th at the Las Cruces Natatorium from 6:00–7:30 AM.
During the meeting, coaches will review meet dates, practice expectations, and discuss future developments in the swim program. This meeting will ensure swimmers and families have all the necessary information before the season begins. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
For questions, please email Matthew Gormley mgormley@lcps.net.

As a senior and President of the Las Cruces FFA Chapter, Lacy exemplifies dedication and excellence—maintaining a 3.7 GPA, leading state championship teams, and gaining hands-on experience through her internship at Organ Mountain Equine. We’re proud of her leadership and commitment to success.

Meet Efren Aleman, the energetic PE teacher who keeps Mesilla Elementary moving—literally and figuratively! Now in his 14th year of teaching (all at Mesilla Elementary!), Coach Aleman goes the extra mile every single day to support his students and colleagues.
Whether he’s offering a listening ear, stepping in for class coverage, or keeping spirits high on campus, Mr. Aleman is a true team player. He says he’s grateful for the opportunity to motivate students to exercise and to teach them that physical activity is essential for a healthy body and mind. His favorite part of the day? Greeting students each morning with enthusiasm and making sure they know how excited he is to see them and to teach them something new. Mesilla Elementary’s principal calls him a vital part of the school community—and it’s easy to see why!
Thanks for keeping Mesilla in motion, Coach Aleman! You’re truly a class act in PE
