We’re proud to announce that Isaac Duarte, a freshman at Lordsburg High School, is the winner of this year’s New Mexico History Day t-shirt design contest!

His winning design will be featured on t-shirts for students attending the state finals and worn by those advancing to the National Contest in Maryland this June. In recognition of his achievement, Isaac was awarded a cash prize and will be honored with a special certificate during the state finals awards ceremony this April at Central New Mexico in Albuquerque.
