School of Dreams Academy

During the 2024–25 school year, School of Dreams Academy has experienced remarkable growth and progress in its Early College HighSchool (ECHS) program. Enrollment has nearly tripled this spring compared to the fall semester, signaling increased student interest and trust in the program’s offerings. The school also achieved re-designation as an ECHS for an additional five years, reinforcing its long-term commitment to providing high-quality, college-aligned opportunities for all students. Students in the 2024–25 cohort are earning industry-recognized credentials across key fields, including OSHA 10-hour certification in Construction Trades, Veterinary Medical Applications, Food Handler certification, and Principles of Livestock Selection and Evaluation. These certifications, coupled with dual credit course offerings, equip students with the skills and credentials needed to transition successfully into the workforce or postsecondary education. The school has also expanded its higher education partnerships, securing new agreements with NM Tech, NMSU, and CNM while maintaining a strong relationship with UNM-Valencia. These partnerships allow for broader course options and deeper engagement with New Mexico’s college network. Through initiatives such as McKinney-Vento supports, the DASH Plan, and the Extending Equity into the Digital Workforce initiative, School of Dreams Academy continues to center equity and access, ensuring every student has a pathway to postsecondary success.
