Nogales High School has the honor of presenting our 2025-2026 Classified Staff Member of the Year. He exemplifies dedication, dependability, and a strong commitment to supporting a safe and positive school environment. Ray De La Ossa is always smiling, consistently going above and beyond, and can be relied upon in every situation. His positive presence, work ethic, and willingness to help others reflect the very best of Nogales High School—truly Apache Strong.

Assistant Principals are the backbone of a school—leaders who wear many hats, problem-solvers who step in at a moment’s notice, and champions who ensure every student and staff member is supported each and every day. From guiding instruction to supporting student success, they are at the heart of what makes a campus thrive.

At Nogales High School, we are incredibly grateful for Mr. Carrillo and Mr. Inzunza. Their dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our students, staff, and families truly embody the Apache way. They lead with heart, build strong relationships, and go above and beyond to support our Apache family.
Thank you, Mr. Carrillo and Mr. Inzunza, for all that you do—today and every day. ❤️ We are APACHE STRONG!

🚗 NOGALES HIGH SCHOOL CAR SHOW 2026 🚗
You’re Invited! Saturday, April 18, 2026
9:00AM-12:00PM

Join us for a day of horsepower, community, and classic style at the Nogales High School Car Show 2026!

Senior Project Spotlight: Yonadi Armenta ‘26 “The mural was created with the intention of inspiring students to believe in their potential and pursue everything they aspire to achieve. Through this artwork, the artist hoped to remind students that with determination, effort, and confidence in themselves, they are capable of reaching any goal they set their minds to. The mural also reflects the importance of remembering the school’s motto, “Once an Apache, Always an Apache,” as a symbol of pride and belonging. It serves as a reminder of the roots students build during their time at the school—roots that continue to guide them even as they move forward into new chapters of their lives. For current students, the mural stands as motivation to keep striving for their dreams, and for those graduating, it represents the lasting connection they will always have to their school community.” Check out Yonadi’s mural in the J Building hallway! #ApachePride
