History
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2022) |
Stanley was formerly in the Santa Fe School District, which operated a school in Stanley, which in 1962 had 150 students. In 1962 that district's school board approved a plan to have the district moved to Moriarty Municipal Schools. Meanwhile Glorieta was to be moved to the Santa Fe district.[3] The superintendent of the Santa Fe district advocated for closing the Stanley School because of the following reasons: was in close proximity to the one of Moriarty, that it would not be viable as an elementary only school if only the high school were closed, the poor physical state of the building and it was not meeting the academic benchmarks set by the state government of New Mexico.[4]
Hilario "Larry Chavez" began his term as superintendent in 2021.[5]
