Las Animas School District

Ms. Ashley and Ms. Yaz's class crafted and devoured a rainbow snack to honor St. Patrick's Day before Spring Break.

The Las Animas School District proudly presents the 92nd Annual Santa Fe Trail Day Celebration on Friday, April 24, 2026! 🎉
This community-wide event is sponsored by the Las Animas High School Student Council. For the past 92 years, on the last Friday in April, students and community members come together to pay tribute to our region’s rich history and western heritage.
The celebration includes a parade, the Frontier King Contest, the Santa Fe Trail Day Queen Contest, costume contests, a ranch burger lunch and traditional square dancing and awards ceremony. Pictured below are the high school candidates for King/Queen this year.
We invite the everyone to come out and celebrate this long-standing tradition with us! 🤠🎈
Call our High School Office to participate in the parade! (they will return from Spring Break on March 30) 719-456-0211 All entries are welcome!
