Deming Public Schools has taken significant steps to enhance educational opportunities for its students, as highlighted in their recent regular meeting on February 20, 2025. The board approved an out-of-state travel plan for Early College High School students to participate in an AVID Junior College field trip at the University of Arizona in Tucson. This initiative aims to provide students with firsthand experience of a college environment, building on previous trips to other universities. The trip is expected to foster aspirations among students, encouraging them to pursue higher education.
In addition to the college trip, the board also accepted a grant of $14,300 awarded to the Deming High School robotics team by White Sands NASA. This funding is crucial for the team, as it will cover travel costs, robotic parts, and other expenses necessary for their competitions. The grant represents a vital source of operational funding for the robotics program, which has been supported in previous years.
These decisions reflect the district's commitment to enriching student experiences and supporting innovative programs. As the school year progresses, these initiatives are expected to have a lasting impact on student engagement and success in both academic and extracurricular activities.
