Quemado Independent Schools (Independent School District 2) is a school district headquartered in Quemado, New Mexico, U.S.[1] Shelby Perea of the Albuquerque Journal described the district, located in a rural area, as being "small".[2]

History

Joe McDee was superintendent until 1965, when Herman D. Harm of Marsing, Idaho replaced him.[5]

In 2019 superintendent David Lackey stated that the district was unable to use New Mexico's school safety funding due to the conditions involved in the funding.[2]
