Big News from Gallup-McKinley County Schools!
Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, GMCS will transition to a new K-6 school model at elementary schools. Middle School sites will instruct 7th and 8th grade students.
This change will help support student success in many ways. As we focus on continued commitment to high academic achievement, we look to student-centered research which demonstrates:
✅ Continued Opportunities for social and emotional growth: Expanded opportunities to enable students time to continue developing those essential skills.
✅ Higher Academic Achievement: Students demonstrate higher understanding and performance on assessments when remaining in a familiar environment.
✅ Enhanced Safety & Wellbeing: Smaller, more connected environments boost emotional and social growth
Athletic Opportunities: 6th graders will continue to have athletic opportunities to enhance growth and development.
The goal is to give every student the best chance to succeed — academically, socially, and emotionally!
We will be hosting informational sessions in the coming months to help families get ready for this exciting transition.
Stay tuned for more details!

🌟 Success at GMCS Experiential Site Visit! 🌟
We are thrilled with the success of our recent Experiential Site Visit! It was inspiring to witness firsthand the transformation and growth taking place in our schools. From connecting with partners to seeing confident student presentations and integrated learning in action, every moment showcased the dedication of our teachers, students, and leaders.
A huge thank you to our student ambassadors, NMPED administrators, teachers, staff, business partners, internship employers, and GMCS leaders for making it all possible! Are you familiar with the meme Expectation vs. Reality? Well, here at GMCS, Expectation is now the new Reality! 🎉
Special thanks to our partners, like ConnectED, for celebrating our journey from “turnaround to transformation.” Together, we’re creating a powerful vision for Gallup’s future!
