PROCEDEO Celebrates Groundbreaking for Canutillo ISD’s New Northwest Early College Campus

On October 1, 2025, we officially broke ground on the new state-of-the-art Northwest Early College High School, marking a milestone in the district’s 2024 bond program.

Thanks to the support of Canutillo voters in May 2024, the District is investing in new infrastructure that will uplift students, families, and the broader community. The new campus will replace the existing portable building footprint and offer a modern, 21st century learning environment that meets the evolving needs of both high school and early college students.

Our commitment extends beyond bricks and mortar: we believe in building opportunity.

As construction evolves, PROCEDEO will continue providing updates, maintaining accountability for schedule, budget, and quality. We look forward to the day when students walk through the doors of this new campus, equipped with the tools, spaces, and inspiration to reach their fullest potential.
