CTECH Digital Media students are taking over the mic and bringing our school announcements to life! From production to delivery, they’re gaining real-world broadcasting experience and building skills that matter. This is what hands-on learning looks like at its best-future content creators, producers, and media professionals in the making! #studentcentered #capacitybuilding #innovation

⭐️The Hobbs Municipal Schools HHS Art Show 2026!🖼️ We are very thankful to John and Kelley McMillan and their students for displaying their creative minds through art! The opening reception was on Friday, but after that, all are invited to come out and view the amazing works and talent in our schools throughout the month of April at the Lea County Center for the Arts @ 122 W.

March 2nd is Read Across America Day, a day to celebrate one of our favorite activities at Hobbs Schools... READING!

This day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998 to help get kids excited about reading.
On National Read Across America Day, students, teachers, parents, and community members around the nation come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading — join us and read a good book together!

Be on the lookout for fun days of dress up, reading and celebrating the literary genius of Dr. Seuss within the district for Dr. Seuss Week , March 2-6!
This is an annual, school-focused celebration held around March 2nd (the author's birthday) to promote reading, often aligning with National Read Across America Day. It features themed, book-based dress-up days—such as wearing stripes, crazy socks, or green—alongside classroom activities, crafts, and reading sessions to foster a love for literacy!

Friendly reminder that Hobbs Schools will be closed and there is no school for students on Monday, February 16th, as we are having a professional development day for our staff.
