Central Consolidated students honored for perfect attendance, state medals and Special Olympics debut
Summary
The Central Consolidated School District recognized multiple student achievements at its board meeting, including a family with multi‑child perfect attendance records, SkillsUSA and state powerlifting medalists, winners of bilingual seals, and Newcomb High’s first Special Olympics team.
Central Consolidated School District trustees on Monday recognized a string of student achievements across the district, from family‑wide perfect attendance to state athletic and career-technical medals and the launch of Newcomb High School’s first Special Olympics team.
Board members opened the meeting by honoring the Peters family. The district recognized Kalia Peters and five siblings for perfect attendance across pre‑K through high school; a speaker said the family’s record “reflects not only the student’s individual determination, but also the strong support and values instilled at home.”
The board also celebrated winners from Career and Technical Education programs. A representative from Braly Wilson Technical Center said gold‑medal winners will advance to the SkillsUSA national championship in June. Several students were individually named for gold, silver and bronze results.
Athletics awards included state powerlifting honors. The board heard that Kirtland Central freshman Mackenzie Neusser finished second in the 114‑pound division with a 540‑pound total, and that other district lifters set state marks and placed at the state competition. Newcomb Principal and coaches noted athletes’ progress and the district’s support for teams.
Newcomb High School launched its first Special Olympics program this year, sending 22 students to competition. School leaders told the board the program will expand next year with the aim of competing against other schools.
Separately, students and staff were recognized for earning Navajo Nation bilingual seals; board members praised the students’ efforts and discussed ways to keep language instruction engaging across grade levels.
The board congratulated students and staff and thanked families and coaches who contributed to the achievements.
The recognitions were presented during the “Student, Staff, Community Recognition” portion of the agenda; no board policy changes or binding actions were taken during the honors segment.
