🎓✨ Class of 2026 Senior Edition – Photo Request! ✨🎓
Attention parents and guardians of our graduating seniors!
Each year, Gallup-McKinley County Schools creates a special Senior Edition magazine that is mailed to our graduates as a lasting keepsake. This edition features individual senior photos along with highlights from graduation.
📸 We need your help!
Please send in your student’s senior picture so they can be included in this special publication.
While we do receive some photos from school photographers, we would love to include as many submitted photos as possible so every senior is represented. Students without a submitted photo will still be listed, but we truly want to showcase each of our graduates.
📥 How to submit:
Send them to Public_Relations@gmcs.org. Don't forget to tell us your student's name and the school they attend. Please have your submissions in by MAY 8TH.

Let’s work together to make this a meaningful and memorable keepsake for the Class of 2026! 💙

Thank you for your support!

This week, students and their advisors from across Gallup-McKinley County Schools will travel to Albuquerque (April 9–11) to compete in the HOSA State Leadership Conference.
Our students will represent their schools and our district in a variety of healthcare and biomedical science competitions, demonstrating the knowledge, professionalism, and leadership that HOSA – Future Health Professionals promotes through its mission of preparing students for careers in the health professions. Through these competitive events, students apply what they have learned in their School of Health and biomedical science courses while strengthening the skills needed to succeed in healthcare careers.

Students representing GMCS come from:
• Crownpoint High School
• Miyamura High School
• McKinley Academy

We are incredibly proud of our students and advisors who continue to demonstrate the strength of Career & Technical Education (CTE) and the growing impact of our School of Health programs across the district.
To our competitors: Compete with confidence, support one another, and represent GMCS with pride.

Good luck to all of our HOSA participants!
