Homegrown Scholars: Two Seniors Earn Prestigious UNM Scholarships
“When I got the email, I had to read it three times to make sure I wasn’t imagining it,” says Gabby Sanchez ’25. “Then I just sat there, frozen. It didn’t feel real.”
For Gabby and classmate Ari Rosner-Salazar ’25, being named UNM Regents’ Scholars is a tremendous honor; the award covers tuition and fees, books, and room and board—essentially everything—and is given to only 12 new Lobos each year. And it comes with other perks, like individual mentorship, access to a color printer, and even special housing. It also allows them to stay close to their homes and communities.
The Academy seniors first had to apply for UNM’s Presidential Scholarship, earn a minimum 3.9 GPA, and submit a two-minute video highlighting the most essential element of their application. Their video presentations were impressive, says Dean Jacoby, who serves as college adviser for both students. “Having one, let alone two, students earn this life-changing scholarship is unheard of.”
Like many Academy students, Gabby once assumed she would leave New Mexico for college, but as she explored her options, she realized the best fit was right at home. “I always thought I’d go out of state, but then I started looking at what UNM had to offer. The research, the professors, the scholarships—it was just a really good fit. And I love New Mexico, so staying here felt right.”
Ari also considered out-of-state options before realizing that UNM had everything she needed. “I was looking at a couple of other schools that are a lot more expensive than UNM,” she says. “When I got the scholarship, it was very validating academically. And it means I can go to school without having to think about expenses.”
They are both quick to acknowledge Albuquerque Academy's impact on them and their futures. Ari was focused on theater, specifically tech and production design, before taking an art class at the Academy that completely changed her focus. "I used to think of art as just something I loved to do. But in Advanced Ceramics III, Ms. Wright showed us how artists make a living, and that changed everything for me." It was this class, and several that followed, that changed her perspective. “I made my application video about ceramics because of my Academy art classes—they’re why I even considered applying with my artwork.” Ari is still very interested in theater, but art is now her focus. On any given day, she can be found in the Visual Arts Building, deep into some new project.
Coming from a family of engineers, Gabby calls herself “the weird bio kid of the family,” and she has taken almost every science class that the Academy offers. The spark that first inspired her was her Genetics and Biotechnology class. “I was so fascinated—I just wanted to learn more,” Gabby says. “I started doing my own research outside of class and was enthralled by the topic. We got to do a little bit of fly lab work. And that just made me even more curious because you got to work on model organisms and see genetics firsthand, which I really enjoyed.” This led her to actively pursue the next logical step in her junior year, which was to take Advanced Research in Molecular Genetics. “Without that class, I don’t think I'd be here with the scholarship today.”
Two internships Gabby pursued at the suggestions of her Academy teachers have defined her academic journey. The first was with Dr. Victor Vigil, a cancer geneticist, when Gabby was still deciding between a medical or a research path. Although seeing the practical applications of genetics in patient care interested her, it helped her determine that she prefers a more hands-on research approach. This pivotal realization was reinforced by her internship the summer before her senior year, when she had the chance to work with Drosophila flies in Dr. Mubarak Syed’s neuroscience lab at UNM. “That summer was huge for me,” Gabby says. “I got to work on researching intermediate neural progenitor cells, and it really confirmed that I love genetics. It wasn’t just reading about it in a classroom—I was actually doing it.” That real-life experience helped her see a clearer future. “I’ve always been interested in biology, but I wasn’t sure how to turn that into a career. After that summer, I could see a path. It made me excited about what’s next.” Her work in Dr. Syed’s lab will continue into her Senior Project this spring and through the summer.
Ari also recognizes the long-lasting benefits of her Academy experience. “The Academy has prepared me for college in ways I probably don’t even realize yet,” she says. “The workload, the expectations—it all translates really well.” And the impact of Gabby’s teachers went beyond academics. “I’ve been really lucky to have teachers who cared—not just about grades, but about me as a person. They saw things in me that I didn’t always see in myself.”
When asked about their advice for underclassmen, both seniors reflected on their journeys.
“You're interested in something for a reason—don’t ignore that,” Gabby says. “You don't want to get stuck doing something you're not really interested in. Once you find that spark, keep on exploring it. I know it's very cliche, but follow your interests.”
Ari recommends “using your support group and talking to your friends and your parents and anyone who will listen to you. Talk about how you're feeling, because the college process is difficult, and you don’t want to keep it all to yourself.”
Alum Jim Meketa’s Astronomical Arc
By Ted Alcorn ’01
To shine a light on the transformative power of tuition assistance, Alumni Council member Ted Alcorn ’01 is telling the stories of alumni who were grateful recipients during their Academy years.
When Jim Meketa ’65 set his eyes on the stars above Albuquerque, he had no idea how far they would take him.
His family moved to town in 1952, when the sparse traffic lights on Central Avenue still left the night sky a vast blackness, and Jim was mesmerized by the heavens blazing down from it. He saved his earnings from weeding yards and delivering papers to buy a six-inch telescope, then stayed up late cataloging and sketching galaxies and nebulas.
There were much larger telescopes, used for tracking Russian satellites, at Kirtland Air Force Base, where his dad worked as a draftsman, and one evening when some amateur astronomers borrowed one for a “star party,” Jim and his dad got invited. The middle schooler so impressed the adult attendees with his knowledge of astronomy that one took him aside and told him about a new school in town he ought to apply to, the Albuquerque Academy for Boys.
At that time, the Academy mostly catered to the children of doctors and lawyers, Jim recalled, and his parents, who were still climbing out of poverty, discouraged him. But he took the admission test anyway and was offered a full scholarship.
Jim had some catching up to do. On Fridays, when students were required to don coats and neckties, he had to borrow an ill-fitting outfit from a neighbor. But he set his mind on winning over his new classmates. He was a quick learner, and, though small and asthmatic, he joined the soccer and football teams.
Most of all, he embraced the academic rigor of his classes, where it wasn’t enough to get the correct answer if you couldn’t also explain why it was right. For a kid who’d never been to a museum, whose home had no art on its walls, the school was a portal to somewhere new. “The sheer size of the human experience was revealed to me, opened up,” he said.
And that world was one he intended to join. The crew of friends he ran with outside of school were increasingly getting into trouble, mostly “juvenile mischief,” but he could see the trajectory led no place good. At the Academy, he said, “I saw a door out, an escape hatch.”
After graduating, he went on to Harvard to study physics, in hopes of getting a job in the federal government’s blossoming space program. But he graduated into a recession and jobs were scarce.
Fortunately, he’d also gotten interested in computers, which at the time were room-sized machines, and he began automating tasks for banks. Later, while helping modernize the management of Harvard’s endowment, he started consulting with pension funds. Over the half-century that followed, his business, Meketa Investment Group, grew into a 250-person enterprise, today overseeing more than $2 trillion in investments.
Jim says one of the company’s core values is a love of excellence for its own sake, which he traces back to the Academy. “Every day we come to work and we try to do a better job than the day before, not because they get you a raise or promotion or a bonus—those things just happen—but because it feels so damn good to give your best.”
But he never let work crowd out his other passions—photography, travel, history, architecture, aviation. “I have never in my life worked a 40-hour week. That would bore me to death,” he said. And he hasn’t stopped gazing up at the stars, either.

Academy Celebrates Cordova Scholars Program and Gage Courts Dedication
More than 150 people gathered at the Albuquerque Academy Racquet Center in late March to celebrate the dedication of the Vincent Cordova Summer Scholars Program and the Darell Gage Courts. Thanks to the generous $1 million gift from the Garcia Automotive Group Family, the Academy was able to honor the lasting legacy of these two beloved former faculty members. The event brought together Academy friends and families, making for a heartfelt and memorable occasion.
THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY Takes the Stage
Academy thespians explored relationships against the backdrop of physics in the 2025 spring musical, THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY, music and lyrics by Neil Bartram, book by Brian Hill. This contemporary musical explores themes of connection, change, and discovery through a series of interwoven stories.
The cast included 26 talented students from grades 9-12 who told stories about adjusting to family life when you go off to college, suppressing your differences until finding someone like you, overcoming phobias and allergies in the name of love, and so much more. The technical crew comprising 28 students from grades 7-12 brought the show to life with set design, lighting, and backstage support. Faculty members guiding the production included Director David Sinkus, Vocal Director Helen Bielejec, Music Conductor Hovey Corbin, Choreographer Desiree Lang, and Technical Director Richard Hogle. THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY was presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Campus Spotlight: Student Well-Being
Spring Day of Giving: Reflections on 50 Years of Ex Ed
By Danny Packer
To help celebrate Spring Day of Giving on Wednesday, April 2, which honors 50 years of Bear Canyon and experiential education, former history teacher and Ex Ed leader Danny Packer reflects on his years guiding students through outdoor adventures. Click here to support Spring Day of Giving.
The Bear Canyon Project. The Bear Canyon Program. Experiential Education. Ex Ed. However you know it, the outdoor education program has been a required part of the Academy educational experience for 50 years.
Over the years, the program has evolved in ways large and small. Before I started in 1986, it included a week-long Outward Bound Adaptive Program element for 7th and 8th graders. This model shrunk the 30-day OB program to a week and included a 24-hour solo experience. (It also included lots of opportunities for sneaking in “contraband”—snacks and food we didn’t want you to bring!) Over the years, I have had the opportunity to cave, mountain bike, road bike, cross-country ski, snowshoe, snow camp, hike, backpack, bird, explore ruins, build bridges and other trail projects, summit peaks, hike in the dead of night, hike from Jemez to Cochiti pueblos, and cook great meals (and other meals, too) with hundreds of Academy students.
The activities of the outdoor program have varied for a lot of reasons over the years, including staff changes in the program and changes in the larger school schedule that in turn impacted the Ex Ed program. While today’s program may look very different from the program you participated in back in the 1980s or the 2010s, the program has had a steady, solid core of goals, expectations, hopes, and dreams for our students. These have included, in no particular order, getting a break from the pressure cooker that Academy academics can be, fostering an appreciation for the natural world, offering leadership training and leadership opportunities, allowing students to get to know themselves and their peers beyond their academic performance, and learning new lifelong activities and skills, to name a few.
As the science department reflects proudly on alumni who make good as doctors or researchers and the English department is rightly proud of fostering our many published authors, Ex Ed likewise has fostered young outdoorsfolk who go on to work as outdoor educators and outdoor leaders. The most important of those successes is, of course, my own daughter Ruby ’15, who now traipses around the country helping to initiate young people into their own rewarding relationships with the outdoors.
I am not naive enough to think that everyone who makes it through the Ex Ed curriculum becomes an outdoor enthusiast or a card-carrying Sierra Club member, let alone an outdoor professional. I know there are those amongst you who, upon completing your 9th- or 10th-grade trip, have rejoiced that you will never have to sleep on the ground again or go a day without a shower. But, likewise, there are those of you who will take a hike this afternoon in your local open space, or who think a week-long backpacking trip is the perfect vacation. More importantly, there are many amongst you who will pass your own love and appreciation for the outdoors on to your own children. In my last year of teaching, I had a 7th grader who told me all about his family’s backpacking adventures. I saw pictures of him on a tall peak in the Pecos Wilderness. What I did not know, and only learned on Parents’ Night, was that in one of my first years at the Academy, I had taken his mom on her first backpacking trip!
I have so many great memories of working with you all, both in the classroom and especially in the field. One sticks in my mind because it summarizes why I love working in the outdoors. It was my first year at the Academy, and we were caving with 10th graders in the Carlsbad area. Our last adventure of the day was a small gypsum cave that, as it turned out, had a different entrance and exit. I was pulling up the rear as we made our way through the cave, which at the start was tall enough to stand in. The cave was formed by running water, and we could see ripple marks on the sides of the cave. As we progressed, the cave became narrower and shorter, necessitating that we stoop, then crawl, then slither, pushing our daypacks ahead of us, grunting and sweating as we went. As we neared the end, but still beyond the reach of sunlight, I maneuvered around a corner only to be face to face with a pair of red eyes shining in the light of my headlamp. I can’t remember whether I yelled or not, and I don’t recall the jolt of adrenaline that must have coursed through me, but what I do recall is that when I emerged blessedly back into the light of day, sweat streaming down my face, my co-leader, Cathy Campbell, greeted me saying, “It's not just a job, it’s an adventure!” Indeed it was an adventure, and I think fondly and gratefully on all of you who helped make it so. I hope that you are all having your own adventures spawned by this great Academy program, whatever name you know it by.
Senior Recognized by Fellow Finalists at Regeneron Science Talent Search 2025
Akilan Sankaran ’25 was named the Seaborg Award winner and selected to speak on behalf of the Regeneron Science Talent Search Class of 2025—40 finalists of the U.S.’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. Akilan’s peers identified him as the student who best exemplified their class and the legacy of nuclear chemist Glenn T. Seaborg, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1951 and served on the Society’s Board of Trustees for 30 years.
For his Regeneron Science Talent Search physics project, Akilan built a mathematical model to learn about a puzzling phenomenon in fluid dynamics. A droplet of fluid that falls into a vibrating bath acts in strange ways that don’t correspond to classical physics. The droplet “walks” by sliding along the fluid’s surface and even seems to “tunnel” between cavities in the shaking fluid. He used a mix of simulations and experiments, as well as theoretical proofs involving partial differential equations. He built a model of a droplet system that could make it easier to study its most surprising elements in three dimensions. Lessons from models of systems like these could also shed light on complex environmental threats like shoreline erosion.
The 40 finalists were honored during an award ceremony at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C, where they were awarded more than $1.8 million in prizes for their groundbreaking research, exceptional problem-solving skills, and potential to shape the future of STEM. Learn more here.

Charger Teams in the News
Cheers for Chargers Basketball
Academy girls basketball finished their season with a school record of 24 wins and an exciting game in the state quarterfinals. They were district champs and will bring back 10 players next year. Boys basketball advanced all the way to the state semifinals, after being the district runners-up. Read about winter sports recognition for individual athletes.
Science Olympiad Teams Shine at State
The Academy’s middle school Science Olympiad team will represent New Mexico at nationals at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May following an outstanding showing at the state competition.
The Chargers triumphed over 18 other middle schools with an impressive score of 79 points—well ahead of the second-place team’s 106 points. Their strong performance included eight 1st-place, four 2nd-place, and two 3rd-place finishes, with top-10 placements in all remaining events.
“This was an entirely unexpected victory for us,” says Coach Kiran Manne. “Nine team members are new to Science Olympiad, and many were competing as substitutes because of a busy competition weekend. They did an outstanding job.”
The Academy’s high school team finished second in the 23-team upper division, earning 94 points in a highly competitive field through four 1st-place, four 2nd-place, and six 3rd-place medals, with their lowest event placement being 11th.
Held at New Mexico Tech, the competition brought together student scientists from across the state to test their knowledge and skills in 23 events spanning life science, earth and space science, physics, chemistry, engineering, and general scientific principles. Students competed in pairs, tackling written exams, conducting hands-on labs, or testing devices they had pre-constructed. Team rankings were determined by the sum of event placements, with the lowest total score earning the championship. See the full list of team members.
Two Chargers to Represent New Mexico MathCounts at Nationals
Iris Huang ’30 placed first, individually, and Mark Goldman ’29 finished second at the MathCounts State Competition, earning them spots on the New Mexico team competing at nationals in Washington, D.C., in May.
In addition, the Academy MathCounts team—Keith Lee ’29, Susheer Paladugu ’29, Iris, and Mark—won the team state championship, placing first after strong sprint and target rounds and dominating the countdown round, with Iris, Mark, and Susheer taking three of the top four spots.
State qualifiers Sahana Paruchuri ’30, Anna Kalugin ’30, and Julian Hu ’29 also represented the Academy well, said Coach Phihoang Nelson.
41 Chargers Qualify for DECA Nationals
The Academy’s DECA team was a dominant force at the state competition in March, with 60% of the 71 participants qualifying for nationals in Orlando in April.
Of the 41 qualifiers, the team had:
- Six 1st-place finishes
- 11 2nd-place finishes
- Four 3rd-place finishes
- Three 4th-place finishes
Rio Chavez ’26 earned the state’s highest exam score.
DECA team members can participate and be evaluated in a variety of ways: taking part in a written event, presenting to a judge, role-playing as an individual or team, taking an exam, and participating on a quiz bowl team.
Speech & Debate Team Earns Overall School of Excellence Award

Archers Hit the Mark at State Tournament
Six Academy middle school students were among more than 400 archers in their division to participate in the New Mexico State NASP Bullseye Championship in March.
“Competition in archery is friendly, and in archery, most of the competition is with oneself,” said Coach Dennis Fazio, “trying to improve one’s score by cultivating one’s sense of spatial awareness, body mechanics, breath, posture, form, and technique.”
In preparation for the tournament, students learned to work together to score their shots. Working in pairs, each archer shoots five arrows, walks to the target, examines their arrow placements without touching the arrows, and then calls out the point score for each arrow, which the other archer records on a scoresheet. After the shooter confirms the accuracy of the record, they switch roles. After all shot scores have been recorded, they pull the arrows and then return them to the shooting line for the next round (called an “end”) of five shots.
NASP tournament format is one warm-up end of five arrows, followed by three ends (15 arrows total) at 10 meters and then three ends (15 arrows total) at 15 meters. So 30 arrow shots are scored.
- Claire Geballe ’29: 19th of 204 middle school girls
- Angel Love ’31: 40th of 204 middle school girls
- Caleb Hamel ’30: 47th of 219 middle school boys and personal best
- Alexander Hindman ’30: 106th of 219 middle school boys and personal best
- Eloise Miller ’31: 153rd of 204 middle school girls and personal best
- Sulli Miller ’31: 165th of 204 middle school girls and personal best
Visiting Artist Adams Puryear Demos Clay Technique and Art as a Career
Art students taking the Academy’s new Advanced Senior Studio class participated in a two-part workshop with Adams Puryear, an opportunity made possible through the Jada B. Gonzales Visiting Artist Series. Adams, who presented his work and discussed his life and career with upper-school students at an assembly, is the second artist taking part in this series. The assembly provided students with insight into his creative journey, while the hands-on workshops gave advanced art students the chance to explore their coil clay technique.
Adams is an artist and educator whose work blends craft traditions with unexpected approaches to sculpture and installation. He explores three-dimensional art from different perspectives, using a diverse range of materials and techniques.
Students taking Advanced Senior Studio, an interdisciplinary studio art course designed to show students what making art looks like outside of an academic setting, helped select Adams for this year’s program. “By giving students agency in the selection process,” said Karl Orozco, who teaches the class, “we hope that the selected artist will resonate with their peers and give them a peek behind the curtain of the juried selection process all working artists will face in their careers.”
Adams’ art explores the impact of our internet-driven world, highlighting how technology shapes our daily lives and future, and examines the culture of convenience created by constant digital connectivity, questioning how it influences our behaviors, choices, and interactions.
He holds a B.F.A. from the Massachusetts College of Art and an M.F.A. from Indiana University. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in New York City, across the U.S. at institutions such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City) and the Kennedy Museum of Art (Athens, OH), and internationally at Galerie Christine Mayer (Munich) and the Icheon World Ceramic Center (South Korea). Adams currently lives and works in Kansas City.
The Jada B. Gonzales ’23 Artist Series Fund establishes a visiting artist and speaker program to allow recognized artists to come to Albuquerque Academy’s campus to inspire, inform, and enhance our students’ creativity and knowledge of the arts. The program was established in 2023 in remembrance of Jada Gonzales. Jada was an artist—both as a writer and photographer; she sought connection and savored the personal discovery inherent in the artistic process. She generously invited others in to share her art, and she was courageous and determined in her pursuit of her unique creative vision. Albuquerque Academy continues to welcome gifts to this fund so the school can enhance the program and continue Jada’s legacy. Click here if you’d like to support this program.
