Today, our 7th Grade went on a field trip to the Monte Vista Fish Hatchery. The Monte Vista Hatchery is a cold water facility that raises fingerlings and catchables of rainbow trout and splake. Many of the fish produced are to enhance angling opportunities, while others serve a critical role in native species recovery efforts. A big thank you to Monte Vista Hatchery for the educational oppportunity and for being such great guides!

Saturday, April 25, 2026, two of our Antonito High School Juniors Dylan Gray and Octavian Martinez, participated in the 2026 National History Day Colorado state competition held at the University of Colorado Denver, Auraria Campus. The NHDC is in 10 regions across the entire state. An estimated 15,000 Colorado students participate annually. There were 613 students registered for the contest with 381 projects at this year's State Contest. 102 teachers had students qualify for the State Contest. 81 schools sent regional winners. This was the second time both Dylan and Octavian qualified to compete at the state level in the Senior Group Exhibit category. Although they did not win and move onto the National History Day, we are so proud of their hard work and dedication to immerse themselves into learning history. We look forward to next year's contest and all the students that will represent Antonito High School at the 2027 National History Day Colorado Regional Contest.

Our Family and Community Appreciation Dinner on April 9th was a success. We were proud to serve a total of 80 meals, bringing together families, staff, and community members. It was especially nice to have a couple of our commissioners join us, showing their continued support and commitment to our school.

We want to give a big "Thank You" to everyone who attended and supported our South Conejos School District Family Appreciation Dinner! We appreciate all the volunteers who either donated food items or their time to prepare and serve. Some special mentions go out to Ms. Stephanie Kreps (and Bailee & Katie), Ms. Deb Hoover, Ms. Sandra Pawloski, Ms. Valerie Serrano, Ms. Debbie Arellano-Martinez, and Max & Margie DeHerrera. Without the motivation and positive attitudes, events like this for our families and community members would not be possible. A true CREW effort!
