Thank you for considering a future with Zuni Public School District

The Pueblo of Zuni is located in western New Mexico, approximately 2.5 hours from Albuquerque and just under three hours from Flagstaff, AZ. The Zuni Pueblo is nestled in a scenic valley, surrounded by enchanting mesas. The Zuni people have lived in the American Southwest for thousands of years. Their cultural and religious traditions are rooted, in large part, in the people’s deep and close ties to the mountains, river ways, forests and deserts of the ancient Zuni homeland.
