Responding to a growing enrollment within the Tuba City Unified School District the new 6th Grade Classroom building is
located just adjacent to the existing Junior High School. This facility was funded by T.C.U.S.D. Capital funds.
The new 6th Grade Classroom Building has 15 total classrooms. Four (4) pods of essentially three (3) classrooms each,
including a math/science laboratory, language arts/social studies classroom and Navajo language classroom comprise 12 of
the 15 classrooms. In addition, there are three (3) specialty classrooms including Native American studies, in-school
suspension and a computer classroom.
The building is mechanically connected with the new cafeteria to a new central plant with an economical 4-pipe hot/chilled
water mechanical system. This system is expandable to existing and future facilities at the Junior High School campus. The
culturally responsive exterior aesthetics display Navajo patterns and colors through the use of colored concrete masonry and
accent tiles.
