Built on land donated by developers D.K.B. Sellers, the Hyder brothers, and Salam Mama, Bandelier Elementary was named after the famed conservationist. Mimicking Jefferson Junior High’s architectural style (both schools were designed by Louis Hesselden), Bandelier still serves a diverse community drawing from the University and Southeast Heights Albuquerque area. Well-known Harold Goff opened the school as principal and remained there many years. (Courtesy ERH.)

Jefferson Junior High, pictured above, opened in 1938 on the then-deserted northeast corner of Girard and Lomas. For several years, only the Congregational Church (still standing) and Jefferson occupied the area and residents complained about how “far out there” the buildings stood. One of the first of many schools designed for APS by architect Louis Hesselden, Jefferson rises today from a grassy corner with well-established trees. Maynard Bowen served as Jefferson’s first principal, and when Highland High (APS’s second high school) opened in 1949, Jefferson was so overcrowded that Jefferson’s ninth graders moved to the new high school for two years until Wilson Junior High opened its doors in 1953.
