Congratulations, Class of 2025 Antonito High School graduates! Wishing you all the luck and success in the world as you begin your next chapter!

SCSD came together for our annual End-of-Year Staff Appreciation Lunch and to bid a heartfelt farewell to our amazing retirees. Darlyene Garcia, our school secretary, has truly been the heartbeat of this campus. Every morning, she welcomed students with a warm smile and unmatched compassion. Her presence brought comfort, stability, and joy to everyone she encountered. Darlyene, thank you for being the face—and the heart—of our school. David Jackson has been a constant force of support and leadership. He’s stepped up to coach multiple sports year after year, guiding students with patience, strength, and a true love for the game. David, your commitment has gone above and beyond, and we are grateful for everything you’ve poured into this community. Maria Morales has spent 23 impactful years in our district, teaching both literacy and Spanish. Her work has not only educated minds but nurtured identities. Maria, your passion and your belief in your students have helped them grow in more ways than you’ll ever know. And Johnny Martinez, our dedicated custodian for 32 years. Johnny, your work has been essential, your presence reassuring, and your heart generous. You've cared for this school like it was your own—and it was. Your legacy will shine in every hallway and classroom you touched. To our departing staff members, as you move on to new opportunities and exciting adventures, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the dedication, care, and inspiration you’ve brought to our school community. You’ve played a vital role in shaping the lives of our students, and your impact will be felt long after you’ve moved on. A huge shout-out to our dedicated staff – your hard work, passion, and commitment throughout the year have made a lasting impact. Thank you for everything you do! Enjoy a well-deserved summer break. You’ve earned it!
