Twenty-seven middle school musicians also made the district honor band, and Piñon Elementary's math club earned a national distinction.
LOS ALAMOS - The Los Alamos Middle School tennis team won the middle school end-of-season tournament at the Jerry Cline Tennis Center in Albuquerque this past weekend, according to the district's Nov. 9-15 newsletter. The newsletter calls it the title of top middle school team in New Mexico and the Hawks' first, after finishing second last season and third the year before.
A second Hawks team won the intermediate green ball division. The teams are coached by Lindsay Gibson, Travis Gibson and Timur Khazratkulov.
Twenty-seven LAMS students were selected to the 2026 North Central District Honor Band and will perform with the band Saturday, Nov. 14, at Santa Fe High School.
Piñon Elementary School's MathCounts club earned Silver Level distinction in the National Math Club program.
The newsletter also reports that the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce held ribbon cuttings marking the completion of the new Chamisa and Piñon elementary schools. Chamisa Principal Liz Meek cut the ribbon with former principals Craig Washnok and Suzanne Lynne, and Principal Ivanna Austell cut it at Piñon.
