We are sharing an update from Hobbs Municipal Schools regarding an incident that occurred today at Highland Middle School involving a staff member.

According to Hobbs Municipal Schools, the suspect is in custody, and students and staff are safe. The district has asked the community to keep the injured staff member, students, staff, families, and the Hobbs community in their thoughts and prayers.

Superintendent Gene Strickland emphasized that the safety of students and staff remains the district’s highest priority and that the district is taking necessary precautions to provide a safe environment.

Out of an abundance of caution and in coordination with community partners, Hobbs Municipal Schools has announced the following changes to tonight’s Homecoming activities:
The Homecoming Parade scheduled for tonight has been canceled.

The varsity football game has been rescheduled for 10:00 a.m. Saturday at Watson Memorial Stadium.
Hobbs Municipal Schools will continue to monitor the situation and provide additional information as it becomes available.

Lea County’s thoughts and prayers are with the injured staff member, the students and staff of Highland Middle School, Hobbs Municipal Schools, and our entire Hobbs community. We are also grateful for the first responders, school personnel, and community partners who responded and continue to support those affected.

Please keep our Hobbs community and school district in your thoughts and prayers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sheriff Helton has announced a leadership transition plan designed to ensure continued stability and uninterrupted operations throughout the reminder of 2026 and into the next Administration.

With the recent retirement of Undersheriff Michael Walker, Mark Rhoads agreed to serve as the Undersheriff beginning August 1, 2026, until he is sworn in as the next Lea County Sheriff in January 2027 upon completion of the General Election and Election Certification. This decision was made to help ensure a smooth transition and allow Mark Rhoads time to familiarize himself with critical functions, the daily operation, and the personnel of the Lea County Sheriff's Office. It will also afford Rhoads time to evaluate and begin to develop his vision for the future of the Lea County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Helton and Mark Rhoads both emphasize this transition reflects a shared commitment to the Deputies, the staff, and the Citizens of Lea County.
