Parents, please make sure your Juniors are here March 25 for their test.

Tramaine Martine-Mescal is our 9th grade Athlete of the Week who set a high standard with his outstanding performance in the high jump at Jemez Valley, demonstrating exceptional skill and preparation that earned him first place with a remarkable clearance of 5’4”, and we anticipate even greater achievements from him this season.

Ramah Business School’s 8th graders placed this weekend in the 47th 4-Corners Regional Science and Engineering Fair. Mr. Lamberto Geolin Jr. mentored three students. Marian Grassie placed 1st in the Chemistry Category. Niyah Lambson placed 2nd in the Behavioral and Social Science Category. Owen McClelland placed 2nd in the Medicine and Health Category. All three also received special cash awards from the Grants Rodeo Association, Mt. Taylor Medical Supply, Stand Sure Farms, WZA, and Parkhurst Pharmacy.

We're grateful to our students and families for turning Math Night into a transformative experience, where fun and learning came together through engaging games, puzzles, and pizza. Don't forget Pi Day is this Saturday - savor a slice with your loved ones and discover the joy of math conversations.

Freshmen from the Ramah School of Business embarked on a trip to Gallup to gain insight into the business world, specifically the hospitality industry. Their first stop was the Hilton Garden Inn, where they learned about the importance of leadership, resilience, and determination through Conrad Hilton's origin story, which highlighted the value of having a vision. Additionally, they gained knowledge about the hotel's management structure and how it achieves brand standards and customer satisfaction through quality control, maintaining hospitality at the core of its daily operations. Following a comprehensive tour of the hotel, they explored the amenities offered. After lunch, the group visited the El Rancho Hotel, where they learned about the local historical landmark from historian Leroy. They toured the hotel, walked the same halls as numerous notable celebrities, and even gained access to the hidden room. Furthermore, they learned about the Ortega family's efforts in preserving the hotel and how their business structure has successfully maintained the historical landmark while capitalizing on its unique story and former guests.
