Our ship descends into the northside of Santa Fe to Gonzales Community named for one of New Mexico’s most remarkable residents and former School Board of Education Member. Albert Gonzales Sr. was struck blind by a diving accident at age 16. He never let his disability deter him from greatness. He became the first blind man to graduate from NMSU and Georgetown Law School, he passed the NM Bar, and practiced law well into his late 80s and was named one of the 5 most distinguished blind persons in the nation.. Mr. Gonzales’ legacy is the basis of the Community School that bears his name with the Lobos own commitment to never giving up and fighting to make each of their students stand apart and be original and fearless.
Gonzales Community School provides some great programs such as:
--21st Century After-School program
--An engaged PTA department
--An multi-award winning institution
--NDI
--Cooking with Kids
--STEAM and CSR
The school also offers extracurricular activities such as Violin, Hiking, Chess, D&D, Inter-Tribal Culture club, Volleyball, and Football.
Albert Gonzales reminds us that no matter what life throws at us, we can overcome and thrive. Gonzales Community School makes sure to honor him by setting the foundation for these young students with this in mind.
The Board of Education is looking for your input on the redistricting of school board member boundaries! This is NOT the rezoning of schools, the change is only to the boundaries of school board members.
