Dear Students, Parents, Faculty,
Staff and Community of Raton;
It is once again with great pleasure that I
write a welcome-back-to- school letter. We at the Raton Public Schools are
excited about the upcoming school year. We are looking forward to working with
the community to continue to make the Raton Public Schools a better place for
students.
We have many new and different
programs in place to help reach those students who are struggling. We need the
help of the community to insure that we do not allow students to fall through
the cracks and not graduate. If you know of a student who is on the verge of
dropping out, please let us know, as we are willing to work with anyone to make
sure they finish school.
We are very excited about our new
Healthcare Career Pathway program that we are implementing in partnership with
Miner’s Colfax Medical Center, Luna Community College, New Mexico Highlands
University, Colfax County, and many others.
Student completing this program will graduate high school with 22 credit
hours of college and will be prepared to sit for the Certified Nursing
Assistant Exam. This is just one of the
many programs we are implementing to try and help students have a better
life.
Finally, I want to encourage
families to get involved with the schools so that together we can continue to
improve our schools and in turn our community.
Thank you for your continued
support of the children of Raton.
David Willden
Superintendent
Raton Public Schools
