MISSION

To prepare children for school while providing families access to community resources and comprehensive support services to ensure their children’s success.

WHY IS THIS PROGRAM IMPORTANT?

Early Head Start/Head Start is a federally funded program that prepares America’s most vulnerable children to succeed in school and beyond. Head Start programs deliver services to children and families in core areas of early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way.

Because the program focuses on the family as a whole, children receive early screenings which may lead to early identification of developmental delays, lead poisoning, and dental, health care, and mental health service needs. The program also provides nutritious meals to children and referrals to community resources for families.

WHO / WHAT AGE GROUPS IT’S FOR:

Early Head Start has two options:

The Home Based program serves children prenatal to 3 and is available for working or non-working families.

Center Based programs serve children 6 weeks to 3 years old and are designed for working families.

Both options support families to transition to Center Based Head Start when age appropriate, or for those in Home Based to transition to Center Based Early Head Start when needed for working purposes.

Head Start provides preschool services for 3- and 4-year-old children in a Center Based model

Alamogordo High School (AHS) students have many dual-credit opportunities and can earn associate degrees and industry certifications while still in high school which allows them to join the workforce or continue college courses after graduation.

Internship and mentorship opportunities available through partnerships between AHS and out community stakeholders and businesses provide students with the work-based learning experiences necessary to succeed in a job or chosen field of study.

Career Technical Education programs provide our students with hands-on instruction and learning opportunities that are high wage, high demand, and high skill. Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) help students build necessary leadership and career-related skills.

Alamogordo Public Schools (APS) has a long standing history in the Tularosa Basin. The school district is the second largest employer in Otero County, with nearly 800 employees. Alamogordo Public Schools is governed by a 5-member elected school board that sets policy and approves the annual budget. Operations of the district are overseen by the APS Superintendent.

There are more than 5,600 students in the district enrolled in two high schools, three middle schools, nine elementary schools, and two preschool programs. More than 1,000 of these students are dependents of active duty service members and an additional 10-12% are considered to be "military connected."

Students from Alamogordo, High Rolls, La Luz, and Holloman AFB are provided educational services via Alamogordo Public Schools.
