Prep Hires New Director of Enrollment

May 4th, 2026


We are happy to introduce Adrian Wallen, Sandia Prep's new Director of Enrollment. Adrian comes to Prep most recently from FEMA. He served as a Claims Navigator, helping people who suffered losses in the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fire.

Previous to his federal service, he was the Assistant Director of Admissions at St. John's College in Santa Fe. His duties at St. John’s included overseeing recruitment outreach efforts, advising students and their families, and developing reports to communicate enrollment data. This experience in his 10 years at St. John’s matches the qualities of the Director of Enrollment that we have been searching for. He is enthusiastic about recruiting and has ideas to promote our school to the larger Albuquerque community.

In addition to his previous work experience, Adrian has been teaching and performing improvisational comedy for over 20 years. He has appeared at The Box Performance Space in downtown Albuquerque since the theater opened. He was also the Artistic Director at Santa Fe Improv. These experiences have contributed to his outgoing and gregarious personality.

Join us in welcoming Mr. Wallen to the Prep community!
