School Overview
The Clovis High School Freshman Academy, located in Clovis, New Mexico, serves as a specialized transitional campus designed specifically to support students entering their first year of high school. By separating freshmen from the broader high school population, the academy focuses on creating a smaller, more personalized learning environment intended to ease the academic and social pressures associated with the move from middle school to high school.

The program emphasizes a structured academic foundation while fostering school spirit and student engagement. Through targeted instruction and support systems, the Freshman Academy aims to help students develop the study habits, social maturity, and foundational knowledge necessary to succeed in their subsequent years at Clovis High School. It functions as a bridge, ensuring that ninth-grade students receive the attention they need to build confidence before transitioning into the larger campus environment.
