Advanced Placement Program

The Advanced Placement Program is a national program organized by the College Board that offers college level courses taught by high school teachers. At the end of the course, students are strongly encouraged to take the national exam(s).

Native American Liaison Support

My name is Tyra Preston, Rio Rancho High School Native American Liaison. I am very delighted to be working with our Indigenous students this year. My goal as the Native American Liaison is to always keep the lines of communication open between students, parents, teachers and liaison. Our Rio Rancho School District Native American Program provides resources, valuable information and support for our students and their families. Rio Rancho High School aspires to be a community of learners that support and celebrate a passion of excellence. I am looking forward to a happy, productive and successful school year. It is important to be active and engaged in your child's school as this is a fundamental ingredient in their overall successes I want to let you know that I am here for you and your child, to navigate through their academics and social needs.
