This week, NFHS CEO Karissa Niehoff unveils the nationwide campaign entitled Bench Bad Behavior which is designed to end the out-of-control behavior by parents and other fans at high school sporting events. This unacceptable behavior is driving away men and women from serving as officials and threatening the future of high school sports in our country. Very simply, this unsportsmanlike behavior must stop — Enough is Enough.

Mariachi Milagro de Ernesto Gonzales
Recruiting members for 2022-20223
"The trumpet rings out its steady, throaty beat.
Voices - vibrato lilting, joy apparent - sing a melody that has been sung for centuries."
This is mariachi, the splendor of a living heritage - beautiful to listen to, dance to and enjoy. But the greatest beauty of all? This is mariachi performed by children - youth from various elementary, middle and high schools in the city. Mariachi Milagro de Ernesto Gonzales, a group of young musicians who, through small grants and the generous donations of their community, have been given the opportunity to learn and perform. The Instructors/directors of Mariachi Milagro are committed to continue with this worthwhile program which gives students a connection to Hispanic culture and helps minority students see the importance of acknowledging their roots, their language, and their traditions. The group is currently recruiting students, 5th to 12th grade, from Santa Fe schools for the 2022-2023 school year. We have instruments to loan out. Practice will be held at Milagro Middle School - Practice for Beginners will be held Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm and practice for the performing group will be held on Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:15pm. You can reach MaryHelen Romero Kelty 505-470-7940 or mhkelty@gmail.com for more information.

Mrs. Georgia Baca welcomes students and families to the 2022-2023 school year as Milagro's new Principal.
As we make a turn on the horizon we are captivated by a set of buildings that are modern, beautiful, and inviting. It is Milagro Middle School! Named for the Spanish word - Miracle. The view is truly one of a kind with shiny solar panel car ports, a blue sports field, and gleaming white buildings. It isn’t until we land that we learn why Milagro is so special. This school was built with sustainability at the core of the campus’ design. It is 50% solar powered from those panels on the carports and it’s other innovations enable it to use half the energy of a typical school. The entire campus has rainwater catchment systems that lead to an underground cistern for landscaping needs and the synthetic turf field saves even more water. The lighting throughout is all LED and the white buildings reflect heat to help with climate control.
