We are incredibly excited to share some HUGE news for the Grants High School Pirate Football Program!

Athletic Director Reyes Jaramillo took the initiative to apply and submit our GHS Football Program to the T-Mobile Friday Night Lights 5G Contest — and his efforts have paid off in a BIG way!

🎉 The Pirate Football Program has been selected to receive a $5,000 donation from T-Mobile! 🎉

But that's not all…

🏆 GHS Football is also a FINALIST for the T-Mobile Grand Prize — a $1,000,000 award for facility upgrades! The grand prize winner will be announced at a later date.

We want to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Mr. Jaramillo for his excellent and continued efforts to put our students, programs, and Grants High School at the top of his priority list. His commitment to finding opportunities and resources for our student-athletes is making a difference!

💙 The $5,000 donation will go a long way toward improving our football program and creating an even better experience for the student-athletes who proudly choose to be part of the Angry Jack Family.

And now… we're keeping our fingers crossed for that $1 MILLION GRAND PRIZE! 🤞🏈💰

📢 Mesa View Elementary Family Update

Dear Mesa View Elementary Families,

As we begin the new school year, we want to keep you informed about an important enrollment update.
Due to increased student enrollment, some classes at Mesa View Elementary are approaching—and in some cases exceeding—New Mexico's legal class size limits.

Over the first 10 days of school, student enrollment and class sizes will be monitored daily. To remain in compliance with state requirements and ensure the best possible learning environment for every student, class assignments and student placements may need to be adjusted.

If class sizes exceed legal limits, students who live outside the Mesa View Elementary attendance boundaries may be the first to be reassigned to their school of residence. If any changes become necessary, affected families will be contacted directly.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and partnership as we work to provide every student with a high-quality educational experience while meeting state requirements.

Thank you for your continued support of Mesa View Elementary and Grants Cibola County Schools. Together, we're committed to making this a successful school year for all of our students.
