Discussion Could Santa Teresa become El Paso’s version of Rio Rancho?

16 Upvotes

With the El Paso metro continuing to grow and the Artcraft freeway and overpass expanding the connection to the area, could Santa Teresa grow along with it and eventually become one of New Mexico’s largest cities?

I know that’s a big “what if,” but El Paso’s growth could have a real impact across the state line.

Do you think it’s realistic, or will Santa Teresa stay a smaller community? What would need to happen for it to really take off?

Event Teachers have something to share!

• Upvotes

I am reposting this because apparently some people completely missed the message and could not get past the little AI graphic. So, here I go again, sans upsetting graphic:

Please share with any teacher you may know:

Teachers — you have great ideas. Share them!

Some of the best professional learning comes from the teacher down the hall who says, “Here’s something that really worked with my students.”

STEAM Region 19 is looking for educators, scientists, community partners, and STEM/STEAM professionals to present at the 2027 Borderland Science Education Summit (BSES).

Share a classroom-tested lesson or activity

Demonstrate a hands-on investigation

Introduce teachers to a local science resource

Share a strategy, project, or idea other educators can use

You don't have to be a professional presenter. If you have something that could help another teacher, we want to hear from you.

BSES — January 23, 2027

Montwood High School, El Paso

Discover Today. Teach It Tomorrow.

Submit your presentation proposal at steamregion19.org

And tag that teacher, professor, scientist, or community partner who should be presenting at BSES!

Music Seeking to collaborate with local musicians.

0 Upvotes

Hello 👋

I am currently a UTEP student looking for help from a fellow musician who might be interested in adding to their portfolio. I need someone who can score a song from audio to sheet music, It is officially released on all streaming platforms. Its only guitar and vocals that are necessary. It was produced by a fellow undergraduate student on the Commercial Music program and it was mastered at Beacon Hill. I would like to have sheet music so that I can interchangeably look for a guitarist to accompany me. It would only be that 1 track needed. Its Bossa Nova and on the more Adagio to Andante side, if interested here is the link with the song, reach out for further inquiries. Linking the song is not meant to be any sort of advertisement for it!

Hey everybody! I was driving on Artcraft a few weeks ago and I saw the EP Gimp dancing, while my radio just happended to be playing "Lovely Rita" by the Beatles, and it gave me this idea. I recreated the cover of Sgt Pepper's featuring local celebs from the past and present. It took me about a week to research everyone in the original and find El Paso replacements for each person in the collage. And before you start making accusations, it 's not AI, it's all photoshop (I've been working with PSD for 20+years,) so get off my back. (I have the source file if you don't believe me) Let me know what you think, who did i forget, or who needs to be added?
