Your Support Matters

State funding covers about 85% of our needs and is an essential foundation, but doesn’t allow for the level of excellence our students and families are seeking. Educating the whole child for the whole world is not in the state of New Mexico funding formula. That’s why we need everyone to chip in to make the world-class education and world-class programs that go with it a reality. Coyotes work and live as a pack. Here at CCPS so do we.

Why Give to CCPS?

Ways to Give

Financial donations are the most flexible; we can accept checks, online donations or stock. In kind donations of goods/services/saleable items are also a viable option. Please contact the school for more details if you have an in-kind gift in mind. If you can give time and energy, we can also find a home for that in the PTA or PAC organizations.
