FFA at National Stock Show

FFA at National Stock Show

Kirtland FFA spent Christmas break at the Arizona National Livestock Show. We had 4 students in attendance, and one younger brother of a member. This show brought in people from 30 states (even Hawaii) and we hung competitively with the very best in the nation! I’m going to list what each kid competed in instead of individual animal results so I make sure I don’t get any wrong. 

I also want to shout out our wonderful maintenance crew for everything they do to get the farm back up and running. Because of you, we have kids coming home to Kirtland with national champion honors! Thanks!!! If you see these guys, please make sure to tell them how much they’re appreciated.

Teacher Appreciation At The Football Game

Teacher Appreciation RecipientsThe Teachers and Their Students

On Friday, September 22, 2023, the KCHS football players nominated their favorite teachers from throughout their school years. Teachers received a certificate from the player who nominated them, and were invited to the 9/22 football game, where they enjoyed a pre-game Cajun Boil prepared by Coach Clary's parents. At the game the teachers walked onto the field wearing their players' jerseys. Coach Clary started this tradition last year, and the players have had "so much fun doing it," according to the Coach.

New Statue At KCHS!

Senior gifts have been a long standing high school tradition showing student support and setting an example for future classes.  Class of 2023 Student Body President Madison Manuelito wanted to reignite this tradition and set out to showcase the pride of The Class of 2023.  With the support of CW2 (R.) Pedro Larribas, of the JROTC Bronco Battalion, they garnered local support from the Four Corners Power Plant to purchase a mighty Bronco Statue.  This statue can be viewed in the commons at Kirtland Central High School.
