Annual Events
In these pandemic years we have not scheduled annual events for the LCA community or for the public. Please keep watching this space.

Our scrollable calendar is always here on this News and Events page.
We also provide this printable, 1-page, full-year calendar in color, as a PDF file. It covers the whole 2021-22 school year, from August, 2021 to May, 2022. This year we deviate a bit from the Las Cruces Public Schools calendar, in that we start earlier (12 August vs. 17 August) and end later (27 May). This lets us get our full 180 days of classes while having the final week being a full week, which is best for academics.
