will What about WDRK . Fight mind pollution! While some schools work to accomplish this feat, Chaparral is busy enriching the students' minds through new teaching techniques and a different level of communication. We can snicker along with our young group of educators as they capture our attention while overacting at a traffic accident, riding a bull or dressing up as historical land sometimes hystericall characters of the pa st. But if more areas become closed at our bread-box school, we won't be laughing anymore. Set-ups like math, science and foreign language reflect our traditional past. Behind every cloud is a silver lining and Chaparral has hers. Excellent ratings from North Central and an academic score 7.6M higher than the national norm for high schools singled out our school as being extra ordinary. ln' 1 - .si Q L .9 . Nl, V V..

Students were chosen, according to how much talent they had, to spend a few days on the reservation. Rooming and going to school with the Navajo was a part of their learning experience. About a week later Navajos were given the chance to come and see our school's surroundings, and live with kids whose parents were willing to have house guests. Performing dances and traditional ceremonies for the Humanities students was just part of their busy agenda. LEARNING NEW DANCE STEPS with their Indian guides are Mark Gill and Randy Coffman.
