Exciting News for the Alamogordo Public Schools CTE program! A few weeks ago, APS sent our welding instructor, Tommie Armstrong, to an intensive train-the-trainer program to become certified through NC3 and Lincoln Electric to issue welding certifications. Mr. Armstrong just received word that he passed his certifications, and Alamogordo High School is now an official NC3 certification center.

Alamogordo Public Schools wishes a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of the 65 dedicated volunteers and APS teams who made the District Writing Fair a resounding success. The community contributions have truly made a difference in helping inspire and empower young writers in our community. The winners will be notified by their school and invited to a Young Authors Awards Night in May.
