Burckle was at the Academy recently to donate 20 excess Compaq laptop computers and their cases. Opened in September 2004, the Academy serves 164 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students from throughout the Española valley and surrounding communities. The Academy is located in the Española National Guard armory, which also served as the firefighter encampment and command center during the Cerro Grande fire in 2000.
