Mickey Jones

Admission Coordinator for Recruitment and Outreach

Mickey was born in Washington, D.C., but relocated to southern New Mexico during elementary school. At the age of 13 he fell in love with the guitar and began a lifelong study of music that has taken him around the world in the service of performance and education. Mickey’s career as a music educator has included New Mexico-based music nonprofits; original programs for New Mexico youth, such as the first All State Guitar Orchestra in the United States; and the first guitar program with the Albuquerque Youth Symphony. He was a music educator at Albuquerque Academy for 18 years and now, with great enthusiasm, serves in the Academy Admissions Office.
