I wake up every day looking forward to go to work. I love what I do, and I love watching the students learn what they love to do, too! 💙

Because of Bosque, my daughter discovered her voice—literally and figuratively—and has grown into both an opera singer and a musical theater thespian, as well as a dedicated scholar. This is a path our family never would have imagined. That kind of transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from a school that is deeply committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, artistically, and personally. Bosque creates an environment where students are encouraged to explore widely, develop their passions, and become thoughtful, capable human beings. Supporting the school means investing in opportunities like these for every student, now and for generations to come.

Because of Bosque, I feel deeply fortunate to work in a community that encourages me to bring my whole self to work every day. Being a working mom, a spouse, and a woman of color isn’t just my identity; it is a perspective I am proud to bring to a community that truly celebrates it as much as my professional experience!

Because of Bosque, our son Miles is becoming even more fully who he is meant to be. In an environment where he is genuinely seen, heard, and respected, he has grown into greater independence, confidence, and self-awareness.

Bosque doesn’t shape who he is, it empowers who he already is. It gives him the space to think critically, express himself authentically, and take ownership of his journey.

Watching our son thrive in a place where he is valued not only as a student, but as a person, and where those values are truly lived, has grounded him in a lasting sense of belonging and security. Something we deeply value as a family.

I learned that education should be meaningful.

Bosque challenged me to think beyond myself and consider how my work could impact others. That perspective shaped my path, from the classroom to now pursuing a PhD in cancer epidemiology focused on improving cancer outcomes for underserved communities. Bosque didn’t just prepare me for college, it prepared me to contribute.

My children have opportunities that enrich their lives and help create possibilities to guide them on their pathway of being human. They have great friends, exciting classes, fun sports, fantastic arts, are well cared for, are a part of a beautiful community, are close to nature, and they get to be themselves. We are so grateful!

I have such an appreciation for the nature of New Mexico and a lifelong love of learning! I also met my husband while attending Bosque, and have my beautiful family because of it! We are both Bosque graduates (‘17 and ‘18), so the school plays such an important role in our love story. I am so grateful for the time spent at Bosque. I continue implementing the lessons learned here throughout every aspect of my life, and have grown so much with the knowledge and skills learned at Bosque. Go Bobcats!

I learned the power of a deep, long-lasting connection to place. From 2006 to 2018, at least one Kuchar sister was a student at Bosque. The relationships we built during that time didn’t end at graduation—they’ve become a lasting network we continue to draw on for work, friendships, and life advice. My sisters and I have all returned to live and grow in the same community that raised us, with our Bosque roots serving as a grounding tie to the place we call home.

I formed a community of lifelong friends. We've continued to support each other through college and will do so on whatever new paths life takes us.

I learned that community isn't just a place, it's something you build and carry with you. It showed me the power of friendships and the importance of showing up for others. Most importantly, it taught me that community extends beyond ourselves and that giving back and caring for others is what truly connects us.
