House Memorial 5 proposes to declare January 22, 2026, as "New Mexico MESA Day" in the House of Representatives. The memorial highlights the significant contributions of New Mexico MESA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities in mathematics, engineering, and science for pre-college students from diverse backgrounds. Since its inception in 1982, the program has expanded from six schools to nearly 110 statewide, providing essential support and resources to thousands of students, including tutoring, career counseling, and various enrichment activities.

The resolution also acknowledges the broader impact of New Mexico MESA on students, teachers, families, and communities, emphasizing its role in fostering academic excellence and preparing students for future careers in STEM fields. Additionally, the memorial calls for recognition of New Mexico MESA's commitment to supporting minority students and requests that a copy of the memorial be sent to the organization.
