Escalante Middle/High School, located in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico, serves students from grades 7 through 12. As of the 2023-2024 academic year, the school has an enrollment of approximately 165 students, with a student-teacher ratio of about 13:1.


Our recent Career Day was a great success, with a strong turnout and enthusiastic participation from students and guests. The event gave students valuable insight into the many opportunities available after graduation.
A special highlight was the return of former students, who shared their experiences and offered real-world advice about different career paths. Their stories helped inspire and guide our current students.
From college and trade programs to various careers, students explored a wide range of options and gained helpful resources to support their future plans. Events like Career Day remind us that our students have many paths to success and we are proud to help prepare them for what comes next.

Last March 19th, 17 members of Dream Makers took an important step toward community readiness and personal development by earning their CPR certification. The training was spearheaded by Dr. Jodi Casados alongside the dedicated team from La Clinica del Pueblo de Rio Arriba.
