Vicki Chávez has served in education for 25 years, first as a Middle School & High School Math Teacher and Varsity Girls Soccer Coach, an Instructional Coach, School Principal, Executive Director of the SW Regional Education Cooperative, and now as Superintendent for Deming Public Schools. The diversity of her experiences has offered multiple lenses (and opportunities) to learn, grow, and improve her practices.  Her passion for equity and opportunity drove her to start a Spanish Dual Language and Enrichment program at her school and continue her own learning about language development by pursuing a TESOL endorsement. Her deep commitment to students has driven her to be active in advocating for legislation that ensures students and teachers across New Mexico have equitable access to resources and supports that improve student outcomes.
