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.
This May, Doña Ana County Commissioners are proud to recognize Bike to School Month! Biking is a healthy, affordable, and environmentally friendly way to get around, while promoting safer routes for students and families.

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.
Congratulations to Nick Rojas, LCPS Athlete of the Week from LCHS. A senior second baseman for the Bulldawgs, Nick stands out on the diamond as a steady presence and true leader. Coaches say he leads by example and brings out the best in his teammates every day.
National Bike to School Day is next week! Check this list to see if your school is participating.
