Welcome to the Web site of Ojo Caliente Elementary, home of the Trojans! We’re located on beautiful reservation land, in Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. We are a K-6 school dedicated to our students and community. We not only strive for excellence here at Ojo Caliente, but we expect a lot from our students. It is our goal to increase performance levels of all students in the areas of reading, writing, and math each year. This will give them the confidence and skills to graduate from high school and continue to further their education.

We know you’ll find our brand new Web site a helpful resource. Check back here frequently, as calendar events, news, and information is always changing. If you ever need to speak with the office or one of our teachers, feel free to stop by. We are always available to talk with you!

Welcome to Ojo Caliente Elementary School!

My name is Richard L. Romero. I've been the Principal here at Ojo Caliente for the 2007-08 School Year. I am proud to be a part of this great school, to work with dedicated faculty and staff, and honored to be a part of your children's lives while they are learning and growing during their elementary school years.

Education has seen many changes during the time I've been an administrator and educator. One of our school goals is to stay up-to-date with current instructional trends and methodologies, which include technology. Our new school Web site is just one way we are bringing technology into focus; we hope you'll find it a valuable resource and a way of staying in communiqué with us at Ojo Caliente Elementary.
However one thing that hasn't changed, is our dedication and commitment to our students that we serve. I have the pleasure of working with motivated and qualified educators who want to improve the lives of our students through education. They are positive role models for our students, and put in many hours of work beyond their teaching day. We know that students succeed and do their best in school when they feel valued, supported, respected and challenged. Our goal here at Ojo Caliente Elementary is to provide them just that; a supportive, loving, respectful, and safe place for them to grow and learn. I know I speak for our entire faculty and staff when I say, it is a pleasure and an honor to work with all of your children.

It is our hope to not only give our youth the success to move onto the next grade level, but to encourage them to continue their education well beyond high school. Working together with parents, community members, and dedicated educational professionals, we can provide a great place for our students to succeed.

It has been a great year so far, and I am looking forward to tomorrow and a continued successful school year!

Educationally Yours,

Richard L. Romero
