The New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired was founded in 1903 as a land grant school governed by a Board of Regents. Three years later, the school opened its doors in Alamogordo, New Mexico with 21 students, 2 teachers and a superintendent. It is a specialized school which provides residential, academic, support, and outreach services to the blind and visually impaired students of New Mexico. NMSBVI is an entirely special education school. Today, the main campus is still located on the original site in Alamogordo with an Early Childhood Program and Outreach Program housed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
There’s a school in Alamo
That we think is great,
“Tis in fair New Mexico, called our Sunshine State.”
All our hearts beat loyally;
Everyone is true
To our dear old Alma Mater – Love it? Course we do!
Then cheer, then cheer,
Of NMSBVI are we;
With pride each son
And daughter hails our
Glorious Alma Mater.
Then cheer, then cheer,
Of NMSBVI are we;
With a Boom! Bang! Rip! Roar! Here we come,
Here we go;
We’re the greatest
School in New Mexico!
We’re bound to win
The victory, good old NMSBVI for thee.
