Las Cruces School Fair: A Gateway to Educational Opportunities

On February 1, 2025, the Las Cruces Convention Center will transform into a vibrant hub of education, welcoming students and their families to the Las Cruces School Fair. This free event is organized by the Public Charter Schools of New Mexico (PCSNM) as part of the larger celebration of National School Choice Week, focusing on expanding educational possibilities for families in New Mexico.

Running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the School Fair is designed to empower attendees with vital information about various educational alternatives available in their community. Families will have the chance to explore a diverse range of schools, including those within the Las Cruces Public Schools (LCPS) system, private institutions, homeschooling programs, and public charter schools.

Participating schools represent a rich tapestry of educational philosophy and structure. Noteworthy examples include:

• - Raices del Saber Xinatchli Community School
• - J. Paul Taylor Academy
• - Las Montañas Charter High School
• - New Mexico School for the Arts
• - Pecos Cyber Academy
• - New Mexico Connections Academy

In addition to these, unique educational programs such as Desert Springs Christian Academy and Cruces Creatives will provide families with insights into specialized learning environments tailored to meet diverse student needs.

Angela Lopez, the Field Director of PCSNM, emphasized the significance of the event, stating, "Empowering parents and caregivers with the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their children's education is crucial. The Las Cruces School Fair is an opportunity for families to explore excellent public charter schools and connect directly with educators."

To make the event enjoyable for the whole family, there will be various activities including face painting and complimentary food. This festive atmosphere is designed not only to inform but also to engage families and spark joy in learning about education selection.

The timing of this event aligns perfectly with National School Choice Week, which celebrates educational options across the nation through over 27,000 events. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the week, aimed at raising awareness and providing families with the necessary tools to navigate school choices confidently.
