ANTOINETTE "TONI" MONTOYA: NEA-NM HALL OF FAME

The news today may be overwhelmed by the national election results, but it won't crowd out the news that Antoinette "Toni" Montoya (center) has been inducted into the NEA-NM Hall of Fame. She is shown here with Bobbi Stratton, left (Central Region chair) and right, Lucille Martinez-Holguin. Toni Montoya served as the NEA-Espanola local's vice president for six years and local AR for Espanola High School. She was Registrar at Espanola High School (for 26 years), library assistant at the high school, volleyball coach, Senior Olympics participant, and softball coach. She represented the Espanola local for state and national conventions. Now Toni has been retired for the past two years and is honored by her colleagues for her long service to NEA when she was a member for 19 years.
