Welcome to SPTHS Page!
Shonto is part of the Navajo Indian Reservation in the
northeast corner of Arizona. Located about 20 miles from the
Utah/Arizona border, many community members still live in homes
with no access to running water or electricity. Most homes are only
accessible by dirt roads because of the remoteness of the Shonto
Chapter community.
Shonto Preparatory Technology High School was established in
1998 by local visionaries and educators to develop a local
secondary institution readily accessible to rural communities, to
eliminate prolonged commutes for students, encourage parental
involvement and introduce a challenging curriculum to empower local
students.
Shonto Preparatory Technology High School has some enrollment
requirements and admission is not limited or based on ethnicity,
national origin, gender, income level, disability, religion, and
language. There are no tuition fees for attending SPTHS. Our school
is a small and innovative charter with goals of becoming the
premier public high school in this region of the state.
Attention
Parents!

English Language Arts Textbook My

School Front Office for comment for 60 days. Come by the front
office to review and comment.

School Year Registration
Shonto Preparatory Technology High School accepts enrollment
application packets for students fifteen (15) through eighteen (18)
years of age. While students may apply for admission at any time of
year, students are encouraged to submit their application packet on
or before May 1st for the following school year. Initial admissions
and if necessary, a lottery, shall be conducted at that time to
determine enrollment for the following school year based on
applications received by May 1st.
Applications will be accepted after the May 1st deadline before
or during the school year for any remaining openings available.
Arizona Revised Statutes §15-184(B) provides that
enrollment preference shall be granted to pupils returning to the
charter school and to siblings of pupils already enrolled. A.R.S.
§15-184(C) states that enrollment preference may be granted by
the School to students who are in foster care, homeless, or those
who are children, grandchildren or legal wards of employees of the
school, Governing Board members, or employees, directors, officers,
partners or Board members of the charter holder.
Arizona Revised Statutes §15-184 states (J), "...school may
refuse to admit any pupil who has been expelled from another
educational institution or who is in the process of being expelled
from another educational institution."
If capacity at the School is insufficient to enroll all those
who submit an application on or before May 1st, the School shall
select pupils through a lottery except that preference shall be
given to siblings of pupils selected.
The Navajo Tribal Attendance law states that Navajo children
between the ages of five (5) and nineteen (19) that are not
graduated from high school must be attending school. Students who
are dropped because of excessive absences will be referred to
Family Court of the Navajo Nation. (Tribal Code Title 10, Chapter.
Section 118, Paragraph A.)
In cases of custody and/or visitation restrictions regarding a
student at SPTHS, a copy of all legal documents, such as a court
order, must be given to the School Registrar to file in student's
cumulative folder.
Shonto Preparatory Technology High School does not discriminate
