Accomplishments:
The ATC Foundation accepted an extremely generous donation of over 10 acres of land in the Rancho Viejo neighborhood from the Rancho Viejo Limited Partnership. On this land they built a 35,000 square foot classroom building that the school moved into for the start of the 2007/2008 school year. The ATC Foundation worked with the County of Santa Fe to sell $7,000,000 in tax-exempt New Mexico Industrial Revenue Bonds to finance this construction.
Current Goals / Projects:The ATC Foundation is currently fund-raising to build Phase II of the school’s facility. This is required to provide additional room for an increasing school population and to provide a gymnasium / auditorium / cafeteria for the school. The main programs for this fund raising at this time are:
