Cobre High School hosted a College and Career fair for students in grades 9-12 on Tuesday, August 2. We had over 70 people from the community/business industry provide our students with career information. "The overall goal of this event was to spark interest in student's post secondary plans. Helping students "connect the dots" on how to get from here (high school) to there (the career of their dreams) is the outcome we are striving for. Although we have a lot of work to do in this arena, this career fair was definitely a positive start." -Judy Cruz

With no public input, the Governing Board members at the special meeting on Aug. 1, 2022 went into executive session.
Upon return into open session, Chair Alicia Edwards noted that they had taken no action in the closed session and would address the issues in open session.
The first item approved by members was to extend an offer for the permanent Chief Executive Officer to Robin Roling of Wyoming.
