Ruidoso High Celebrates Class of 2025: Academic Honors, Warrior Spirit, and Outstanding Achievement

The class of 2025 Valedictorian, Anderson Beatty, and Co-Salutatorians, Jose Pinon and Mia Simpson, credit their distinguished honors to persistence and consistency from start to finish. Reflecting on the journey, they expressed deep gratitude for the recognition, noting that years of hard work, wise choices, and determination—especially during challenging moments—ultimately led to their success. Their stories are a testament to the power of dedication and resilience.
