Hobbs alumni donate $3200 to CTEQ program during 55 year reunion

During the recent Hobbs Municipal Schools Board Meeting held on June 18, 2025, a heartwarming moment unfolded as alumni from the class of 1970 presented a generous donation to the Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC). Patrick Collins, along with fellow alumni Patty Ann and Debbie Adams, expressed their admiration for the CTEC program after a recent tour of the facility.

The alumni were particularly impressed with the opportunities CTEC provides for students, highlighting the program's positive impact on the community. In a show of support, they announced a donation of $3,200, collected from their classmates, to further enhance the resources available to students at CTEC. This contribution reflects the strong connection and commitment that former students feel towards their alma mater and the importance of vocational education in shaping future careers.

The board members expressed their gratitude for the donation, recognizing the vital role that community support plays in the success of educational programs. This generous act not only benefits current students but also strengthens the bond between the school and its alumni, fostering a culture of giving back.

In addition to the donation, the meeting included discussions on various topics affecting the school district, though none matched the emotional resonance of the alumni's contribution. The board continues to focus on enhancing educational opportunities and ensuring that students receive the best possible support as they prepare for their futures.

As Hobbs Municipal Schools moves forward, the collaboration between alumni and the district exemplifies a shared commitment to education and community development, paving the way for continued success in the years to come.
