Congrats to Eryka Dominguez, our LCPS Student-Athlete of the Week from Mayfield High School! A standout junior and middle blocker, Eryka brings intensity, sharp court awareness, and big plays at the net. Her volleyball IQ and competitive drive set her apart.

Hear from the athletes as they share their goals for the season, what leadership means to them and what keeps them motivated mile after mile.
This morning, Mayfield High School came together in unity and remembrance. The Air Force Junior ROTC, students, law enforcement and first responders gathered to honor those lost on 9/11.
Each year, Mayfield honors the memory of the heroes and loved ones who will never be forgotten.

On August 26, we recognize the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave many women in the United States the right to vote. This day reminds us of the importance of fairness, equal opportunities, and the ongoing work to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard.
In schools and beyond, we celebrate the contributions of women in history, education, science, leadership, and every part of life.
Let’s continue to learn, grow, and stand up for equality together.

Vulnerable Road Users NM (VRUnm), a local nonprofit organization, is leading the charge to educate and empower young drivers. With a mission to “educate and advocate so that all who use our roads are respected, safe, and accountable,” VRUnm focuses on equipping the next generation with tools and knowledge to make safer driving decisions.
At the heart of their outreach is the VRU Safe Driving Pledge (https://www.vrunm.org/vru-safe-driving-pledge), which encourages teens to commit to distraction-free, respectful, and attentive driving. Since the initiative launched late last year, a significant number of students have taken the pledge on the spot.
To further drive home the message, VRUnm incorporates hands-on experiences using virtual-reality driving simulators. These cutting-edge tools replicate real-world hazards and demonstrate how split-second decisions can lead to tragedy.
Local teens will have the chance to experience this firsthand at the upcoming DRIVE Back-to-School SAFE event, happening August 2–3, 2025, from 9 AM to 5 PM at Mayfield High School in Las Cruces.
Teens aged 15 and older are invited to test their skills in the simulator at no cost. The interactive experience offers personalized feedback and introduces real-life driving challenges to reinforce the importance of safe habits.
The event is made possible through the support of community partners who are committed to making New Mexico’s roads safer, including: Citizen’s Bank, Home Pros Remodeling, Las Cruces Homebuilders Association “Casa For a Cause,” Mayfield High School, Mesilla Driving Academy, Optimist Club of Las Cruces, and Prosper Real Estate.
