Our History
Welcome to Rock Point Community School, a K-12 day school that serves about 400 students from neighboring communities such as Round Rock, Rough Rock, Mexican Water, and Sweetwater. Our school's mascot is the sacred Cougar that represents the HonaÌ ghaÌ ahnii clan group. Established in 1935 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), our school building was made of red sandstone that surrounds our beautiful community and still stands on the west end of the campus.
In 1972, our governing board established a contract with the BIA after the Public Law 93-638 went into effect, allowing local communities to control their schools. As a result, we established our own curriculum, hired our own teachers, and made DineÌ language and culture the focal point of literacy and other academic areas.
Our geographic location holds stories of historical significance, such as being considered a valley of cornfields, where rock formations represent cornstalks, and deep canyons represent the vines of squash, watermelons, and cantaloupes. At Rock Point Community School, we take pride in educating children with the same delicate care and attention given to the growth of corn.
