Los Lunas High School's 2006-2007 principal, Dr. Dan Webb, of [[Pasadena, CA]], brought changes to the school including a ban of all electronics on school grounds. Webb was also behind a controversial proposal to separate approximately 300 "at-risk" students, voluntarily, from the general school population in the hope of earning their high school diploma. This proposal received critical feedback from the community as it would have created a "double standard" allowing some students to graduate with only 23 of the required 30 credit hours. |

Los Lunas High School's 2006-2007 principal, Dr. Dan Webb, of Pasadena, CA, brought changes to the school including a ban of all electronics on school grounds. Webb was also behind a controversial proposal to separate approximately 300 "at-risk" students, voluntarily, from the general school population in the hope of earning their high school diploma. This proposal received critical feedback from the community as it would have created a "double standard" allowing some students to graduate with only 23 of the required 30 credit hours.
Schedule
Los Lunas High School currently uses a modified block schedule. Within this new schedule, any particular student can have up to 8 classes in one day. As block scheduling works with longer, yet fewer classes in the day, the new schedule was modified, where some classes are now half-blocks and last year-round. The change was brought on along with the criticism of the block scheduling already implemented, stating that some courses need to be year long. Some of the courses now offered as half-blocks are core classes such as Math, English, Science and other various electives including Spanish and Yearbook.
Performing Arts
The Los Lunas High School Tiger Band received 3rd place and outstanding auxiliary at the 2003 NM Pageant of Bands in Albuquerque, NM. The bands also received 10th place in finals competition and 7th place in preliminary competition at the 2004 NMSU Tournament of Bands; this was the first time the band placed in the top 10 at this event.
Sports
In 2004 the Football team toppled the top ranked Las Cruces Bull-Dawgs for the first time.
