The 2024-2025 academic year for the Artesia Public Schools started Aug. 8.

At Artesia High School, students were welcomed with breakfast burritos and water handed out by Artesia Public Schools superintendent Darian Jaramillo, Artesia Public Schools director of facilities and maintenance Scott Simer, and Artesia Public Schools assistant superintendent of elementary education Tammy Davis.

After a quick breakfast and greetings by district and Artesia High School personnel, students attended a back to school assembly before heading to classrooms for the start of the new academic year.
