The history and development presented above is very present in our school today. There are many events which celebrate the rich culture and heritage of the Jicarilla Apache and Spanish people. Two in particular that celebrate the food, song, dance, customs, and religious faith of the Jicarilla Apache peoples are Little Beaver Roundup and Go-jii-ya. Spanish food, song, dance, and religious faith is celebrated annually as well, during the St. Francis Fiesta. All peoples of the area join in on these events and help one another celebrate. This year the rodeo was re-incorporated in the Fiesta, in conjuncture with the Jicarilla Department of Agriculture

Our students enjoy outdoor activities. Many students hunt, fish, and ranch. Our student's lives are rich in family. Students see Grandparents, Aunties, and cousins daily. These family members support them at school functions, particularly evident during basketball season. Our school gym is always full, standing room only, whenever we host a basketball game against Dulce. We take great pride in the fact that our Midhigh Girls Basketball team took first at the Dulce Midhigh Basketball Tournament. This year, a first ever, out Midhigh girls basketball team went undefeated.

The Dulce Community Center has a small bowling alley, gym, and olympic size pool. Dulce also has a fitness center which is free to the public.

There are many events in the surrounding communities. The Albuquerque Balloon Fest and Santa Fe Fiestas are in the fall. Santa Fe also has a large number of galleries and museums. The nearby pueblos and parishes have their own fiestas as well, which always include food and dance.
