Costco to Host Book Signings for Education in Albuquerque Author

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - March 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Education in Albuquerque highlights the fibers that weave the unique tapestry of New Mexico’s politics, culture and population movements that result in a fascinating history of education development in the state. Images displayed throughout the book reveal exciting facts about the development of Albuquerque’s multifaceted schools.  Author Ann Piper features public, private and church-based schools in the area to show the wide range of education systems in the area. She also shares the story of how Albuquerque as a city and as a school system is one of a few unique large urban areas that maintained unified boundaries without splitting into multi-faceted systems.

The founding, unfolding and evolution of educational systems in Albuquerque creates an intricate story regarding public, private and parochial schooling—as well as regrettably ill-founded systems that wronged natives.
