CULTURALLY INCLUSIVE: We’re getting close to the end of our Graduate Profile series, and today we’re sharing some information about Trait No. 5: Culturally Inclusive.

At Mission Achievement and Success Charter School (MAS), culturally inclusive students develop a sense of identity and belonging. By the time they’re ready to graduate, they can demonstrate cultural awareness and act inclusively. They recognize multicultural contributions and use inclusive language, and they’ve grown in confidence around who they are and the strengths they possess.

For our students, this trait reflects something we believe deeply: A solid sense of identity can become a powerful foundation for learning. When students understand who they are, they can carry that confidence into the classroom and at home. It also shapes their relationships and the choices they make about their future.

A culturally inclusive student at MAS learns how to move through differences with respect. Through the Choose Love practices woven into our school community, students learn to recognize bias and build relationships across cultures. They also learn how to contribute to environments where people feel seen and valued.

By the time our students graduate, we want them to leave MAS with confidence in their own identity and the awareness to honor the identities and experiences of others. Learn more about the MAS Graduate Profile and what Culturally Inclusive looks like in practice at the link below.

NEW MEXICO’S CHARTER SCHOOL STORY IS WORTH TELLING! For more than 30 years, public charter schools have been part of New Mexico’s public education system, giving educators like those here at Mission Achievement and Success Charter School the freedom to build responsive models of learning while giving families more public-school options for their children.

Today, 103 public charter schools serve nearly 33,000 students in 29 communities across our state. They are free and public, and they are open to all. Most importantly, charter school students are New Mexico’s public school students.

Here at MAS Charter School, we, along with the team at Public Charter Schools of New Mexico, see every day what happens when a public school is intentionally built around the students and families it serves. High expectations and proactive support create more opportunities for success. That approach drives our relentless belief in what every student can achieve.

That is at the heart of the charter school promise: different missions and different approaches, paired with accountability for results.

Throughout September, we’re proud to join charter school leaders, educators, families, and education advocates across the state in helping more New Mexicans understand what public charter schools are and why they matter. That’s because all New Mexico families deserve great public schools.

Help us tell the story. Share what public charter schools have meant to your student or your family in the comments below.

HOW DO WE KEEP THE LIGHTS ON? What does it take to keep the lights on for millions of people? Our 11th-grade students recently found out. As part of their study of energy and electricity, they got to examine the February 2021 Texas Electric Grid Blackouts to understand a complex, real-world challenge: how an electrical grid must constantly balance energy supply, demand, and reliability.

It’s a particularly relevant subject here in New Mexico. Our state is home to national laboratories conducting research that helps shape the future of energy and the electric grid, including work at Sandia National Laboratories focused on grid reliability, resilience, security, and emerging energy technologies.

Last week, our 11th grade students explored some of the fundamental principles behind these much larger systems by constructing series and parallel circuits. They investigated how electrical loads affect a system and what happens when alternative pathways are introduced, as well as why the design of a circuit matters. Oh… and the students had to build their circuits in silence before collaborating with one another on a model power grid.

Without relying on one person to direct the group, every student had to observe, contribute, problem-solve, and find new ways to collaborate. The result was a hands-on exercise in critical thinking and persistence.

At Mission Achievement and Success Charter School, we want students to see that what they learn in a classroom connects to real problems, real careers options, and consequential work that’s happening right here in New Mexico.

(A tip of the hat to our 11th Grade Physics & Science CTE Teacher, Ms. Cleopatrie Thompson, for leading this lesson and sharing today's photos.)

Sometimes the best community partnerships come back to school with you. Last weekend, MAS educator Cleopatrie Thompson, 11th Grade Physics & Science CTE Teacher, attended Animal Humane New Mexico’s Educator Open House, where local educators came together to discover resources and learning opportunities they could bring back to their students.

And Ms. Thompson came back with something special for some of our youngest learners. She won a classroom set of “Kamie Cat’s Terrible Night,” a children’s book by Sheila Hamanaka and published by the Animal Welfare Institute. The story follows Kamie, a cat who gets lost and longs to find her way home, introducing young readers to lessons about kindness and responsible cat care along the way.

Now those books are in the hands of our elementary students, and they’re already reading them. That’s what we love about educators who look for opportunities beyond their own classrooms. Ms. Thompson teaches 11th Grade Physics & Science, but when she found a resource that could benefit our elementary students, she brought it home to Mission Achievement and Success Charter School.

Thank you, Ms. Thompson, for thinking across grade levels, and thank you to Animal Humane New Mexico and the Animal Welfare Institute for helping put new books and meaningful lessons into the hands of our students.

SENIOR STUDENT SUCCESS SYMPOSIUM: This week, the Class of 2027 got a closer look at what employers expect when a new hire walks through the door. During our 2026 Senior Student Success Symposium: Succeeding Beyond the Classroom, guest presenter Ms. Deena Crawley, chief of staff for Dion's, led “From New Hire to Future Leader,” a presentation and conversation about workplace etiquette and professional communication. She also shared guidance on job applications and interviews, along with how reliability, initiative, and workplace conduct can influence the opportunities that follow.

The session with Ms. Crawley gave our seniors practical knowledge they can carry into an interview, a first job, and future roles. At the end of the session, senior Ajahni Carty presented Ms. Crawley with a certificate of appreciation for spending time with the Class of 2027 and sharing firsthand insight from HR and workforce development.

Thank you to Dion’s for making Ms. Crawley available to our students and to our College & Career Readiness Team for coordinating the session.

For those unfamiliar with Dion's, the pizza restaurant was founded in 1978 and today has 12 locations across New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas.

WHAT DOES A YOUNG SCIENTIST LOOK LIKE? Our 4th-grade students are starting to show us. They come to science class ready to ask questions and make observations, even when finding an answer takes persistence.

Recently, several students were recognized as “Young Scientists” for the way they approach their science lessons and investigations. While the lab coats and scientist gear made the celebration memorable, the recognition carried a bigger message: Their effort matters, and they are capable of thinking and working like scientists.

At Mission Achievement and Success Charter School, we believe students grow when they can see the connection between the work they put in and what they are becoming. Moments like this help build that confidence while giving students another reason to stay curious and keep learning, even when the lessons are challenging or hard.

Congratulations to our Young Scientists. We are proud of the effort you bring to your work and the confidence you are building as you discover what you are capable of. And thank you to Ms. Edgin Monera, MAS 4th-grade science teacher, for sharing this activity and these photos with us.

¿CÓMO ES UN JOVEN CIENTÍFICO? Nuestros alumnos de 4.º de primaria están empezando a demostrárnoslo. Acuden a clase de ciencias dispuestos a hacer preguntas y observaciones, incluso cuando encontrar una respuesta requiere perseverancia.

Recientemente, varios alumnos han sido reconocidos como «jóvenes científicos» por su forma de abordar las clases de ciencias y las investigaciones. Aunque las batas de laboratorio y el equipo de científico hicieron que la celebración fuera memorable, el reconocimiento transmitía un mensaje más importante: su esfuerzo cuenta y son capaces de pensar y trabajar como científicos.

En Mission Achievement and Success Charter School, creemos que los alumnos crecen cuando pueden ver la conexión entre el esfuerzo que dedican y en lo que se están convirtiendo. Momentos como este ayudan a fomentar esa confianza, al tiempo que dan a los alumnos otra razón para mantener la curiosidad y seguir aprendiendo, incluso cuando las clases son exigentes o difíciles.

Enhorabuena a nuestros jóvenes científicos. Estamos orgullosos del esfuerzo que ponéis en vuestro trabajo y de la confianza que estáis adquiriendo a medida que descubrís de lo que sois capaces. Y gracias a la Sra. Edgin Monera, profesora de ciencias de 4.º de primaria de MAS, por compartir esta actividad y estas fotos con nosotros.

GLOBALLY ATTUNED: Next up in our Graduate Profile series is Trait No. 4: Globally Attuned. At MAS, globally attuned students develop as conscientious citizens. They explore perspectives beyond what’s familiar, evaluate diverse pathways and opportunities, think about and respond to local and global issues with awareness, and contribute to the progress of their communities.

For Mission Achievement and Success Charter School students, this trait carries special weight here in Albuquerque. They grow up in a city shaped by culture, language, family histories, and economic realities. Becoming globally attuned begins with developing a deeper understanding of the community around them and the people and experiences that shape it. As part of that experience, students across all grade levels interact with educators and staff from around the globe.

Our students also learn to see themselves as participants in a wider world. They learn to notice problems, consider different viewpoints, explore opportunities, and understand how their choices and actions can contribute to the communities they are part of.

By the time they reach their senior year and prepare for graduation and post-secondary education, being Globally Attuned means they're able to move forward with awareness, responsibility, and an understanding of their place in the world.
