Leupp Schools, Incorporated
Contemporary young Navajo girls of L.S.I. dressed in their traditional attire. Fourth grade teacher, Joe Caslin with one of his students, Tashina Scott whose great-grandfather attended Tolchaco Mission School. Talk about a long trek to finally arrive where the school is at today! The present-day school buildings were completed in 1960. At that time, Leupp Boarding School was one of the largest schools on the Navajo Reservation because it was open to any Navajo students from across the Navajo land. In 1986, Leupp Boarding School became a Contract School. In 1988, it became a Grant School, and was renamed Leupp Schools, Incorporated. In 1995, it added the Charter School program. The school continues to serve the students of Canyon Diablo, Tolani Lake, Bird Springs, Grand Falls and Black Falls covering a radius of about 40 miles. About 80% of the students today are bus students while 20% are in the residential program. The school serves roughly 400 students in grades K-12. One of the school's strength is its initiative to retain Navajo Culture and Language as reflected in the school's mission statement and philosophy, and the high school course offerings in Navajo Language and Culture. The school's mission statement is, "Building the Future, Keeping the Past."
