Gateway Christian School (GCS) is a private nondenominational Christian school in Roswell, New Mexico.
Founded in 1981, the school states their own goal is "for each student to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in Christian maturity".[1]
According to Niche, Gateway Christian has 446 students. Of those 446 students, about 41% are Hispanic, 40% are White, with 19% being of other races.[2]
Gateway Christian offers enrollment to students of pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.[3] They are accredited by the Association of Christian Schools.[4]
Gateway Christian was deemed as one of the best private schools in New Mexico by the Albuquerque Journal in 2024.[5]
In recent years, Gateway Christian has established themselves as relative powerhouses in the six-man football scene in New Mexico. In 2021 and 2022, they won the state title, and in 2023, placed runners-up against Roy-Mosquero.[6]
During half-time in the 2021 championship game against Ramah High School, assistant coach Mickey Reeves, who himself was a star athlete for Roswell High School and was later selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 1991 draft,[7] collapsed suddenly in the locker room and later died.[8] [9] Gateway Christian went on to win the championship game 70–28. Their 2022 season, in which they also won the championship, was dedicated to Reeves' memory.[10]
The Gateway Christian volleyball team won the Class 1A championship in 2022.[11]
