We’re heading back to 1976 at Las Cruces High School, where four students were recognized as National Merit Scholarship semifinalists: Bill Rowan, Ellen Coy, Carol Root and Jim Larson.
Their recognition reflected not only individual academic achievement, but also a long tradition of scholarship and excellence at Las Cruces High School. Moments like this are a reminder that generations of students have challenged themselves, represented their schools with pride and helped build the legacy our students continue today.
This is Las Cruces Public Schools, then and now.
