Angel Fire and Our High School

Why live in Angel Fire you might ask? Angel Fire, first of all, is a great place to raise a child. I say first of all because it's a big reason we live here. Angel Fire is a small, remote and safe haven to raise a family in. We are privliged to have the 36th highest ranked Charter High School in the entire nation, Moreno Valley High School, (Washington Post/Newsweek Best Schools Issue 2008). This high school has oustanding teachers and staff who teach in a way that only the GT (Gifted Talented) classes in other states teach. We have used other schools, but this is by far the best. I know this because we moved for a few years hiatus when our son, Austin was 5 years old, where he was in a GT class in McAllen, Texas. A very good school by the way, but approaching his high school years, this presented a problem in a border town as far as safety and quality of eduacaton. Sure, it wasn't easy leaving family, but what turned out to be a necessity for our son, was a blessing for all of us.

I was very worried about the transition for our son, Austin, but that turned out to be no problem for him; he reconnected with his old friends and made many new ones. Everyone in Angel Fire was very welcoming whether they remembered us or they were new friends. It is a small but very close community. When we moved back 18 months ago I asked Austin about his first day of school, he couldn't stop talking about his school, teachers, activities including trips, snow shoeing, snowboarding/ski classes in Spanish, and on and on! I am so glad we moved back, for the sake of our son, and for the wonderful quality of life we enjoy everyday, and we will never leave again! There are also many families here who feel the same way, and if you want to join us visit my website www.vacationhomesandcondos or call me at 956-802-3682 and I will show you around. Well it's Saturday, so it's off to the hot springs!
