Today, Gallup-McKinley County Schools proudly honors and celebrates the history, culture, and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples across our communities and the nation.
We are grateful to learn from the rich traditions, languages, and wisdom of Native communities who continue to shape our shared future.
Let’s take this day to reflect, celebrate, and stand in unity with the Indigenous peoples who have called this land home since time immemorial. 🪶❤️

✨ Exciting News from the Student Support Center! ✨
Today, we welcomed our first round of student interns as they fill out their paperwork and get prepared for a successful semester ahead. These students are gearing up to gain hands-on, real-world work experience that will help them grow both personally and professionally.
Through this internship program, students will have the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the workplace while earning pay from their employers—both inside and outside of the school district.
We’re proud of their initiative and can’t wait to see all they will accomplish this semester! 👏🎉
