Deutsche Schule Alamogordo
History
The German school itself opened circa 1996, using class rooms of the Buena Vista Elementary School. Starting the new school year in the late summer of 2000, the teachers and students moved into the newly build school building which can be seen on the top of this article.
In 1997 it had grades 1–4. By 2003 it had grades 1–10, and that year it had 180 students. In 2016 it had 140 students and Torsten Reinecke was the principal. As the German military was scheduled to leave Holloman Air Base in 2019, the school was to close then. Upon the school's closing in 2019 the facility became the Imago Dei School. Imago Dei Academy, a Christian school, formally opened its current campus on August 2, 2019.
