EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Las Cruces Public Schools is creating a history of the district and education in general in the Mesilla Valley.
The project, called Voices of Las Cruces, officially launched on Monday, March 17. Students, both past and present, can access an online portal where they can leave a spoken history of their time spent in school. Those histories will be collected and shared on digital platforms and in a museum exhibit.
“Whether it’s a funny moment, a favorite teacher, or a meaningful experience, we want to hear how LCPS shaped your life,” Josh Silver, LCPS chief of staff and project developer, said. “This is a chance to reconnect, reflect on your own personal story and help us celebrate the legacy of our schools.”
The online portal is now open to record personal histories. Current students and LCPS alumni can get involved by visiting this link to record a personal history in English or this link to record in Spanish.
The district is also asking LCPS alunnbi to submit memorabilia, like photos, yearbooks, uniforms or other keepsakes, to help tell the story of their time in school.
Submissions will be considered permanent donations to the district and will be shared as part of the project.
Today, LCPS serves more than 22,000 students across 40 schools.
Current students and LCPS alumni can get involved by visiting this link to record a personal history in English or this link to record in Spanish.
Memorabilia donations can be made during regular business hours at the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex, 505 S. Main Street in Las Cruces. For more information on permanent donations, contact Brigitte Garibay, (575) 527-6014.
