At this weekās Board of Education meeting, the Board voted to approve Kelly Green as the color of our new football field, staying true to the official colors of our district.
Throughout the discussion and planning process, we received valuable feedback from our community. Many community members expressed strong support for the idea of a gray field, and we truly appreciate the passion and engagement that went into those conversations.
Ultimately, the Board felt it was important to remain consistent with the colors that represent our district. Throughout the past two years, our district, Board of Education, and community worked hard to establish Kelly Green and White as our official school colors, with gray and black serving as accent colors.
We are grateful for the thoughtful input and pride our community continues to show for our schools. Your voices matter, and your engagement helps shape the decisions that move our district forward.

Message from the NMAA, Zac Stevenson regarding the seeding for our Girls Basketball team:
"We regret to announce an error was discovered in the seeding and selection process of the Girls Class 4A Bracket for the 2026 Nusenda Credit Union State Basketball Championships. The comparison process between St. Pius X High School, Espanola Valley High School, and Shiprock High School resulted in the misplacement of teams seeded 11-15. Upon a thorough review, the NMAA has corrected the bracket and the new 11-15 seeds are as follows: Shiprock (11), St. Pius X (12), Grants (13), Espanola Valley (14), and Pojoaque Valley (15). The new bracket is now available and links to tickets will follow soon.
We know many of you have spent time preparing and apologize for the change, but we wanted to get the correct information to you as soon as we could today."

Students from PVHS ProStart recently participated in the annual āCTSO at the Roundhouseā event at the New Mexico State Capitol, representing their school as members of SkillsUSA.
During the event, the New Mexico Association for Family and Consumer Sciences and the NMSU Cooperative Extension Service launched the āItās More Than a Cookieā campaign, selecting PVHS students to bake New Mexicoās iconic biscochitos. The cookies were packaged with information about skills gained in Family and Consumer Sciences courses and presented to legislators statewide. Students proudly showcased their culinary expertise and professionalism.
While at the Roundhouse, students observed committee meetings, spoke with legislative staff, attended a Senate floor session, and were formally recognized by the New Mexico Senate. š
We extend sincere thanks to Glenda Depaula, Dianne Kemp, and Michelle Stizza for entrusting our students with such an important project. They represented Pojoaque Valley High School with excellence, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments. šš
