Las Cruces Museum of Educational Excellence

Connecting New Mexico's Second City to Tiger History

Did you know that Las Cruces families have longstanding connections to El Paso High School's legendary legacy? The El Paso High School Alumni Museum welcomes visitors from New Mexico's vibrant university town of 117,000 residents, located just 48 miles from our historic campus. Las Cruces's youthful median age of 32 and thriving NMSU community create natural ties to our educational heritage exhibits.


Las Cruces residents appreciate institutions with deep roots—your city's pecan orchards and chile farms represent generations of tradition, just as our museum preserves 120+ years of academic and athletic achievements. Located in the heart of the Mesilla Valley with stunning Organ Mountain views, Las Cruces families recognize the value of preserving educational milestones.
