Leroy Archuleta has been a member of our Governance Council since 2017 after he retired from the City of Albuquerque Transit System--ABQ Ride. He is the father of three children, grandfather of eight, and great-grandfather of two. He serves at Sena High because he believes that education is primarily for advancing oneself in this world. He earned a diploma in electronics from TVI in 1975 hoping to own a business in his hometown of Mountainair, but life intervened and he became a driver of large vehicles for several companies. He went to work for the City of Albuquerque because of the benefits the city offers.
