Canutillo Independent School District

It’s summertime in Canutillo, and while most of our students are enjoying a well-deserved break after a successful year of learning, many of our employees are still hard at work preparing for the 2026-27 school year.

🎙️📻 Taking the Canutillo story to the airwaves!

Superintendent Dr. Josue Borrego recently joined KELP 1590 AM host Andy Frecka on the “915 Talk” radio show to discuss the great things happening across Canutillo ISD.

From student success and academic achievement to Bond 2024 projects and the future of our schools, the conversation was a great opportunity to connect with our community and speak candidly about the direction of the District.

Thank you to Andy Frecka and KELP 1590 AM for providing a platform to share the incredible work being done on behalf of our students, staff and families.

🌞🦅 Summer learning is off to a great start at Canutillo Elementary!

During Week 1 of Canutillo ACE Summer Camp, students sharpened their academic skills while exploring conservation, endangered animals, habitats and food chains. Their creativity was on full display as they built habitat dioramas inspired by everything they learned.

We are proud of our Eagles for staying curious, engaged and ready to learn all summer long. We can’t wait to see what Week 2 has in store! 🌎🐢🌿

👀 If you squint, you can almost see the future taking shape!

Construction of the new Canutillo Middle School on Upper Valley Road continues to make steady progress as foundations begin to emerge for what will become a $106.8 million, state-of-the-art campus for our students and families.

The latest construction report shows the project remains on budget and on schedule for completion by the end of 2027. 🏗️🦅

Can you picture it already?

We’re floored by these improvements! 🤩🧡💙

As part of the Canutillo Bond renovation projects, brand-new classroom flooring has been installed at Canutillo Elementary School.

These professional-grade floors not only enhance the appearance of our learning spaces, but also improve classroom safety and make it easier for our custodial teams to maintain clean, welcoming environments for students and staff.

This is just one of many upgrades taking place across the District as we continue transforming our schools for future generations of Eagles.
