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.

The next stop on our journey is Nina Otero Community School named after the famous politician, suffragette, Santa Fe Superintendent of Schools, promoter of women’s and Hispanic rights, and featured on the “American Women’s Quarters” edition from the U.S. Mint.
“Nina Otero-Warren was a pioneer in education, and one who led with her voice as well as actions” said current Superintendent of SFPS, Hilario “Larry” Chavez, and the school that bears her name follows in her memory featuring these extra-curricular programs that compliment the education you can receive at the Community School. These programs include:
- STEAM-Oriented Grades 3rd-8th with a Focus on Foundation/Literacy PK-2
- Walk and Roll to School Weekly
- PED Grant Community School, which will work to ensure student success while addressing the needs, including cultural and linguistic needs, of the whole student from early childhood programs and voluntary public pre-kindergarten through high school graduation
- Outdoor Learning Classroom
- Cooking with Kids
- NDI
- Santa Fe Alliance Science
- Reading Quest
Nina Mustangs take academic risks, explore, create, collaborate and develop resilience and are equipped to be current and future stewards, leaders and entrepreneurs.
Nina Otero is not just a gem in the heart of the south side of Santa Fe and one of eight southside schools, but it preserves the legacy of who it is named after by following in Nina Otero-Warren’s pursuit of inclusion, self-sacrifice, and forward thinking.
Santa Fe Public Schools has so much to offer. Let us take you on a Journey Through SFPS. Over the next six weeks, we are going to travel across Santa Fe, making a stop every day at a destination (school) to show our voyagers (students) what makes each destination special. Come along for the journey, and Choose Your Adventure at Santa Fe Public Schools.
