Entrance

[edit]

In order to be accepted into either the STEM school or Medical Academy the students must go through an application process in the winter of their eighth grade year. Roughly 140 students are enrolled each year from this application process.

Purpose

[edit]

The school was formed by Las Cruces Public Schools due to overcrowding at the four high schools in the city of Las Cruces. It was also formed as an alternative to the other 4 schools.
