{{/_source.additionalInfo}}On Saturday, May 18 Aldo Leopold Charter School (ALCS) held their graduation ceremony at the Ben Altamirano Field on the Western New Mexico University (WNMU) campus. Â
The keynote speaker was teacher Zachary Tecca who focused his remarks on the topics of curiosity and motivation, encouraging students to continue to explore the world around them.Â
Mr. Tecca concluded, "So here is the lecture where I impress upon you the merits, that I believe, make a person successful. It isn't the typical senses of achievement, like strictly wealth or education, that make a human successful. It is the motivation that comes from a person's deep-seated interest in discovering the unknown.
