HOPI SCHOOL SYSTEM
Transitioning to a Unified, Collaborative, Academically Challenging, and Culturally Responsive
School System for Students of Hopi's Tribally Controlled Schools.
HOPI SCHOOL SYSTEM AT A GLANCE
The Hopi School System aims to provide students with an academically challenging, culturally responsive, and comprehensive
education system. The Hopi School System will unify Hopi's Tribally Controlled Schools, and it will be overseen by the Hopi Board of Education (HBE),
a Hopi Tribal Regulated Entity.
The HBE will provide consistency, educational leadership, and
accountability for all seven Hopi Tribally Controlled Schools:
Moencopi Day School
Hotevilla Bacavi Community School
Hopi Day School
Second Mesa Day School
First Mesa Elementary School
Keams Canyon Elementary School
Hopi Junior Senior High School
The transition to the unified Hopi School System is scheduled
to occur in July 2023.
