School NAMES road after Miyamura discipline secretary

Gallup McKinley County Schools Superintendent Mike Hyatt released a letter Oct. 1 stating the road leading into the district’s Central Office and Miyamura High will be designated as “Miss Lisa Lane.”

Lisa Romero-Muniz, the high school’s discipline secretary, was one of 58 victims killed at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas, NV Oct. 1, 2017.

“Lisa Romero-Muniz was an amazing person who positively impacted the life of each person who was lucky enough to know her,” Hyatt said.”We know this road designation will be a reminder to all of us, of those individuals who have and do selflessly serve our most valuable resource as a community – our students.”

The country-music loving Romero-Muniz, 48, was in Vegas with her husband to see her favorite country stars perform at the outdoor festival near Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino when Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the hotel as Jason Aldean performed his set.

The gunman claimed a total of 58 lives and took his own life before police could enter his room. The Route 91 tragedy remains the worst mass shooting in modern American history.

“[The district] also hope[s] the road designation reminds of the need to end violence in our own community and in communities across our country,” Hyatt said.

In addition to her husband, Romero-Muniz is survived by her three children.
