Rio Grande High School Bilingual Program
The goal of the Bilingual Program is to graduate students who are proficient in English and their home language in all four modalities of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students receive daily instruction in English, their home language.
Family and Community Partnerships
These partnerships are key to creating a supportive, caring environment where families, schools, and the community work together. They enrich education by involving parents and connecting students with local businesses, health services, and policymakers. Together, they provide real-world experiences and opportunities that prepare students for the future.
A Proud History of Excellence
Established in 1959, Rio Grande High School has been a cornerstone of education and community in Albuquerque’s South Valley for over six decades. Named after the iconic Rio Grande River that flows through the heart of New Mexico, the school embodies the spirit of resilience, growth, and unity.
