My experience at Cliff High School is very diverse I was born and raised in Cliff NM. I have attended there my whole life and moved to cruces twice but came back. My bad experiences I've had is just the change in administration because everything was always changing. I have made some of the best memories at Cliff. With being in sports extracurricular activities I have always had a blast.

I love that I grew up in a small school that is pre-k to 12 grade. Everyone knows everyone, and the staff cares about the children. I have been very blessed to have spent my high school years at this school. The one thing that needs to be changed is that students willing to work on going to college do not need to be punished academically for their grades. Cliff School is based on a 4.5 scale, and the colleges are based on a 4-point scale. The more college classes that I took dropped my high school GPA.
