School History:
New Mexico Military Institute was founded as the Goss Military Institute in 1891, later changing to the current name in 1893 as a result of becoming a territorial school. While previously located in the downtown McDonalds area, NMMI relocated to it’s current location in 1895 with a land donation from James John Hagerman. In 1899 NMMI officially became an all male boarding school. In 1915 NMMI formally became a junior college. 1977 saw women readmitted to NMMI for the first time in 78 years with 15 female college cadets and 10 female high school cadets.
Notes/School Information:
The New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) was established in 1891 as a public military High School and Junior College in Roswell, New Mexico. Known as "the West Point of the West," NMMI operates under the auspices of the State of New Mexico, under a dedicated Board of Regents that reports to the Governor of New Mexico. The school enrolls nearly 1,000 cadets at the junior college and high school levels each year from 45 states, 2 U.S. territories (Puerto Rico and American Samoa), and 35 foreign nations.
