We saw this school just a few kilometers from the entrance to Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii) National Park. It lies within the Navajo Nation Reservation and is administered entirely by the Navajo. One of the school employees told us that the 200 students are picked up by the school buses every day from a radius of about 120 km, sometimes over unpaved, extremely rocky roads. Some of the children have neither electricity nor running water in their houses, so the school serves as their second home.
