School Reviews
5 7/14/2020
I'm still in school currently at the school of public administration pursing a master degree in medical and hospital administration at UNM. After relocating to San Miguel county from Santa Fe county. I experienced the benefit of a small school atmosphere and instruction. Most importantly I learned the meaning of utilitarianism, discipline, and hard work in respect to personal and community environment. Fast forward, it was necessary for me to pursue an academic pathway to be competitive with today's job market. In short, I'm grateful to have experienced my 8 years or so being part of the Pecos Independent School System. Thank You.
