WELCOME

We will restore the Old Penasco High School building to honor our history, preserve our legacy, and embrace the future. Restoring and preserving the historic building will create a community plaza that unites and serves the Peñasco area through its history, culture and traditions, and will empower the community. The Peñasco Valley Heritage Plaza will focus on cultural preservation, economic development, and community engagement.

Thank you to all our veterans from the Peñasco Valley

We are proud to recognize and honor the incredible veterans and active duty members of our Peñasco Valley community. To express our gratitude, we invite all veterans and active duty military personnel to a special Veterans Day lunch on November 17, 2024. Veterans and active duty members from the Peñasco area will receive a free meal (with military ID). All other guests are welcome to join for $10/plate.

We encourage everyone to RSVP to help us prepare. Please spread the word to those who may not see this online!

Additionally, we have created a slideshow to honor our community’s veterans. If you know of a veteran from the Peñasco Valley who should be included, please view our Veterans Presentation. To add a veteran, send their name, photo, rank, and branch to stanthonyproject575@gmail.com.

Thank you, veterans, for your service and dedication.
