Mayfield High School

This week, the City of Las Cruces and Las Cruces Public Schools continued recognizing students who show cariño and help their schools thrive! 💙✨ Big congratulations to Joslyn, Joaquin, Amarissa, and Salma! 🎉 These students were celebrated at their schools by the Mayor, Councilors, School Board Members, and administrative staff from LCPS & CLC. Each student received a certificate, some City of Las Cruces goodies—and even a cool pair of sunglasses! 😎 Their actions remind us what it means to Thrive with Cariño. 🫶

We’re so proud to celebrate Joslyn Perez from Mayfield High School for being selected as a “Thrive with Cariño” awardee—a new honor from the City of Las Cruces and LCPS recognizing students who lead with heart, character, and compassion. Joslyn truly lives out the spirit of ENLACE—lifting others, excelling in school, and showing cariño in everything she does. Way to go, Joslyn! You make the Trojan and ENLACE familia proud! #ThriveWithCariño #MHSEnlace #TrojanPride
