Starting Monday, May 18, 2026, the New Mexico Public Education Department will launch the “NM Senior Spotlight” on our social media! We want to shine a light on graduating seniors from every corner of the state, celebrating the diversity and resilience of our students.

We encourage submissions from all graduates, not just valedictorians or top achievers. If you know a student who has overcome challenges to reach this milestone, we want to hear their story!

-Submit your stories by Friday, May 15, 2026, to: mailto:Meghan.McGarrity@ped.nm.gov.

-We’ll feature at least 3-4 students daily from May 18 to May 30, 2026. Let’s celebrate the achievements of all our seniors together!

Today, the Mescalero Apache Tribe, along with the Pueblo of Isleta, Pueblo of Pojoaque, and Pueblo of Sandia, has filed a federal lawsuit against Kalshi, an online prediction-market platform.

The lawsuit challenges Kalshi’s operation of what we believe to be illegal online sports betting on our Indian lands. The tribes are concerned that Kalshi’s website and mobile app enable individuals within our territories to wager on sporting events, undermining our sovereignty and gaming rights.

We stand united in protecting our lands and our rights.
