ROYAL SHIFT: Atrisco Heritage Academy is trading in the typical homecoming and prom court titles and voting process for a more inclusive approach. The district said it’s the first APS high school to use a gender-neutral model.
“Starting this year, students will be selected to the school’s Royal Courts based on merit and vote count, but not by the male/female categories,” the district wrote in a news release. “The highest number of votes will determine the winners. Winners will be recognized individually and as a group rather than be partnered with members of the opposite sex.”
Rio Grande High School’s new logo
For Rio Grande High School, this is a school year with a little bit of renovation and a healthy dose of reinvention.
Not only do the Ravens have a snazzy new logo, but their new gymnasium is under construction and will open later this year. And, for the first time in the school’s 62-year history, Rio Grande is going to start honoring some of its most important sports figures.
Rio Grande Sports Hall of Fame is the working title for the venture, and the Ravens expect to induct their first eight members sometime in May.
