Descriere
Everyone was in for a surprise in 1909 when New Mexico declared open the Spanish American Normal School at El Rito, founded to train teachers for the vast region in which there were few schools and the citizenry still did not speak English. The region's geographic isolation, scant means of communication, and lack of roadways rendered it impossible for anyone to make the proper estimate of educational need, it turned out.
Notă biografică
Sigfredo Maestas is President Emeritus of Northern New Mexico College, the present institution that was the Spanish American Normal School at El Rito. He was President for more than thirteen years, first from 1985 to 1989, then from 1996 to 2005. After earning a PhD in chemistry from New Mexico State University, Maestas served as chemistry professor and as Academic Dean at New Mexico Highlands University. In the early 1960s, Maestas was a visiting scholar in the Fulbright program at the National University of Honduras. It was during his time as president of Northern New Mexico Community College that his efforts and that of Dean of Instruction José Griego, PhD, led to the fulfillment of the dream to create a teacher-training institution in North Central New Mexico. He believes this is the way a region of America begins to create intelligentsia, which helps to advance society generally. He is the author of "Children of the Normal School: 60 Years in El Rito, 1909-1969," also from Sunstone Press.
