Eva Westover, the middle child in a family of five, is known for her academic excellence, leadership in her church, and commitment to learning. A member of the tennis team and former volleyball and swim team athlete, Eva balanced her studies with a wide range of extracurriculars. She also recently earned her Associate of Arts degree through NMSU-A’s dual credit program.

Inspired by global humanitarian work with her father, a dentist, Eva is passionate about helping others through medicine.

Charlotte Gross, the 2025 Salutatorian, is a first-generation American and second-generation college student whose drive for academic excellence stems from a deep gratitude and pride in her heritage. A four-year member and two-year captain of the Alamogordo Tiger Color Guard and Winter Guard, Charlotte’s commitment extended far beyond the classroom.

We are confident they and all our Alamogordo High School Graduates will continue to shine in the years ahead, and we look forward to following their journeys.”
