NHS - Children's Hospital
The Santa Teresa High School NHS students poured their hearts into a project that was 100% student-led—from the first idea to the final ribbon tied. After weeks of thoughtful planning, they created and delivered over 70 Easter baskets to El Paso Children’s Hospital, each one made with care, compassion, and the genuine desire to bring a little joy to others. A true reflection of kindness and leadership in action! Good job Desert Warriors and thank you to all community members who donated!

Summer School - June 2025
We will limit Credit Recovery students to one course, in the Edmentum Essentials format. Every course attempted will be transcribed with the student's final recorded grade in Edmentum (pass or fail), to avoid any confusion during registration. Students can drop by June 14th if failing to avoid an F appearing on their transcript.
Initial Credit courses will be part A and B, both loaded together. All students are limited to one course for advancement. ONLY Seniors will be permitted to take a second credit recovery course. This means Graduating class of 2025 (who failed and did not walk) or students set to graduate in 2026. Payment for the second course will be processed with the first course, and both will be loaded at the same time.

Panorama Spring Survey
Every year the state of New Mexico sends out two surveys for the students to complete each semester. The surveys consist of questions regarding the educational supports that are available and the students well being. As a school we do need to have 95% of our students respond to the survey. Please note students are able to skip questions they do not feel comfortable answering. The access code is the students' State Number. This activity is being completed during advisory class this week.
Designation of TRADITIONAL
To celebrate Santa Teresa High School’s designation as TRADITIONAL by the New Mexico Public Education Department, Superintendent Dempsey has provided special funds for student giveaways! We will be holding weekly prize giveaways during the last five weeks of school, April 28 through May 23, as a way to thank our students for their hard work and dedication. Students must be present to win.
