[edit] Awards

US News & World Report awarded its Bronze Medal to Hagerman High School in 2006, for "successfully meet(ing) ... two key performance indicator criteria."[7] [8] [9]

Jesus Trujillo, an agricultural teacher, FFA advisor, and basketball coach at the high school, won a US$25,000 award from the Milken Family Foundation, which was, according to the Albuquerque Journal, for his "exceptional educational talent and ... student achievement".[10] [11] [12] [13]
