Yá’át’ééh! Welcome to the Web site of the Kayenta Unified School District. We are located in the Navajo Nation of Arizona, and we are very proud of our heritage. An old Navajo proverb tells us that we do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. It is our privilege and honor to be in the position to accompany our children on their journey to great heights and solid futures. As you browse through our Internet home, we know you’ll catch our enthusiasm and appreciate our awesome past, present, and future. We believe that together we can accomplish great things!
 GRADUATION: The end, or just the beginning. A graduation ceremony is listed in the dictionary under “commencement.” And the dictionary further states that commencement means “the beginning of something.” Although many people look at graduation as meaning that public education is over for a student, it is actually the beginning of the next life adventure and yet but a transition to the next step in our learning. It is a decision point where we decide what will be next now that we have finished our compulsory education; that is, the education that, by law, we had to remain a part of for the last thirteen years of our young 18-year-old life. Do we continue on to receive a two-year Associate's Degree, a four-year Bachelor’s Degree, a vocational training certificate in a variety of areas, a tour in the Armed Forces, or do we carry on here at home with farming and herding? I am sure there are many other things you may decide to do in addition to the ones I have mentioned. It is not an easy decision, but one that will affect you and the people around you for the rest of your life. There is also really no right or wrong decision as long as you remember that this is the starting point of your new adult life. I would like to congratulate all of our graduates and wish them well as they start this new portion of their lives. Think wisely and choose carefully. Sincerely,
