Today, the Career and Technical Education team at Las Cruces Public Schools partnered with New Mexico State University to host the Elevate New Mexico: Career & Energy Expo, bringing opportunity, exploration, and inspiration together in one place.
More than 1,500 students from across Southern New Mexico spent the day on the NMSU campus exploring hands-on career pathways in energy, engineering, healthcare, law enforcement, agriculture, media, and more.
Students also experienced college life firsthand, touring campus, sitting in on classes, and getting a real glimpse of their future.
Through interactive workshops, pathway tours, and a large-scale equipment expo, students connected directly with industry professionals and local businesses, gaining valuable insight into the many career opportunities available right here in New Mexico.
A huge thank you to our incredible partners, sponsors, community organizations, and LCPS staff who made today possible and who continue helping students see what’s ahead.

Students in the Academic Career Experience (ACE) program recently participated in the Dress for Success event, where they were given a budget of $130 to shop for professional clothing at Dillard’s.
This opportunity allowed students to select attire that will help them feel confident and prepared for future academic and career opportunities.
The event was made possible through the generous sponsorship of Nusenda Credit Union and the continued support of Dillard’s and the Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation, whose partnership helped make this experience a success for our students.
