Magdalena Municipal Schools
School district in New Mexico, USA
Magdalena Municipal Schools is a school district headquartered in Magdalena, New Mexico. It covers Magdalena and Alamo.[1] It consists of an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.
In the 1950s American Indian children living in Alamo, previously attending distant boarding schools, began attending Magdalena schools after the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) had a dormitory built in Magdalena in 1957. In 1979 the Alamo Navajo Community School opened in Alamo, drawing Alamo students away from Magdalena schools.[2]
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in New Mexico, the administration decided to do virtual learning until at least Labor Day.[3]
