ACTING SUPERINTENDENT BENALLY’S MESSAGE
“Education is the cornerstone of the Navajo people, the Navajo traditions, and the Navajo society.”
Yá'át'ééh students,
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year.
This will be another exciting school year.
We are happy that you had an exciting
summer break and you are now ready
and prepared to continue with your education.
Together with your parents, grandparents and extended family members, the
Navajo Nation looks forward to you completing your primary and secondary education (k – 12 grades).
Timothy Benally, Acting Superintendent of Schools, Navajo Nation
We know that students have been thinking about the up-coming school year
successful 2014-2015 school year. It takes many hours
of preparation to execute an effective plan from administrators to teachers and then to students.
because many of you will have new teachers, new classrooms, and new friends. As the school progresses, you
will find that school is enjoyable and you will appreciate
the new school environment.
A highly qualified teacher is the key to an ultimate learning experience for students to prepare and successfully
enter into universities and colleges. Therefore, preparation is very important and it must be considered a priority in and at all schools.
One of the best ingredients of an enjoyable life beyond
the school campus is EDUCATION. Undoubtedly, education provides stable economic opportunities everywhere.
Therefore, education is very important.
Students, good luck and we want you to have a successful school year.
We desire all young people to get an education to enjoy
rewarding economic opportunities. The Navajo Nation’s
expectation of its young people is to get an education.
Therefore, take the challenge: Attend class every school
-day, study diligently, turn-in homework, and participate
in classroom discussions. After school, complete your
homework assignments. It is not very difficult, but your
commitment is very important. Only you can make that
commitment and follow-through with it. (Emphasis
added)

Without delay, Mr. Hale, submitted the request for

legislation. The Office of the Speaker assigns the drafted
legislation as: Legislation No. 0141-14. The Health, Education and Human Service Committee placed Legislation

pending projects, but also future work.”
