On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will travel to New Mexico with U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján to visit the Pueblo of Jemez and various schools. On these tours, Secretary Cardona will speak with Tribal leaders, students, and educators about ways to ensure school communities can effectively recover from the pandemic.

Secretary Cardona will visit Santa Fe High School with Sen. Ben Ray Luján where they will participate in a conversation with students and school counselors about the importance of mental health supports in schools, especially following disruptions to in-person learning. They will also discuss the school’s Restorative Justice program, which supports students in managing conflict.

Afterwards, he will join Sen. Martin Heinrich and Pueblo of Jemez Gov. Raymond Loretto DVM at the Pueblo of Jemez, a federally recognized Tribe, northwest of Albuquerque. They will learn about increased broadband access through federal funds, tour the Walatowa Head Start Language Immersion program, and discuss the Tribe’s approach to educational sovereignty.

Both stops will include a press gaggle. Please RSVP to secure your spot.
