Cedar Unified School District is located in Keams Canyon, Arizona on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Our rural location, 150 miles northeast of Flagstaff, is populated by a community that is committed to its students and helping them achieve their potential.

As educators and staff dedicated to strong academic, vocational, and athletic achievements, we are continually striving to raise the bar to assure that each of our students achieves their goals. We hope you'll use our district and school Web sites to learn more about what we have to offer our students, our community, and our staff.



Dear Parents/Guardians and Community:

What a great time we've had during the 2009-2010 school year. We've learned to grow more in our lessons learned whether they were learned through mistakes or we learned them through a major accomplishment. We want to thank each and every student that has passed through the doors of Jeddito Elementary School and White Cone High School. 

The time that was shared in your being there was well deserved. We share that - time - and learned from that experience. This year was a year of opportunity and growth in each and every student, teacher, and staff member. We are still learning from the experience of the State’s shortfall of money. We are still progressing forward with the obstacles that came in our way, but found a way around it, through it, and avoided the pressures of defeat. 

It is time to say goodbye to the school year and hello to summertime, the longer days, and face a new element of a new era. We will look to the opening day of a new school year, new challenges, and new opportunities for our schools.

Beginning June 1st to July 15th, the Cedar Unified School District will be operating on a four day, 10 hours per day schedule. Our hours will run from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday - Thursday, unless otherwise noted. Fridays will be closed. 

I want to thank each and every parent for sending “your best” to us each and every day and hope that their time at our schools has been well worth their attendance. We also want to thank you, parents/guardians and community for your input, your advice, and your involvement in your student’s education. 

Thank you, Governing Board, for your guidance, leadership, and governing of this district for the betterment and educational values you have shared with us as well.

To the Principals, teachers, aides, and support staff, thanks for being there for the students who needed you. You know what I mean; sometimes you give more than what we know, but never get recognized. The students know who you are, and thanks for giving them that “ear”, that extra encouragement, and pick-up to have a good day.

It has been an interesting year. Hope to see you next fall as we begin a new journey.

Sincerely,



Dr. Damon R. Clarke, Ed. D.
Superintendent
