ABOUT THE FACILITY

The creation of the Alamo Navajo School Board in 1979 represented the political birth of the Alamo’s leaders. Taking advantage of the 1975 Indian Self-Determination Act, the School Board was able to contract for its own services, and the Alamo leaders began to make decisions for themselves. The concept of self-determination found fertile ground in a community, which knew it wanted a school, health services, and local control, but previously had no vehicle to obtain those things.

The Board now operates the K-12 schools as well as an Indian Health Clinic, Early Childhood Center, Adult Education Program, Roads Department, Technology Department, & Wellness Center.

The Indian Health Clinic acts as principal point of healthcare services to patients of all ages within the Navajo community. Their Healthcare Services include a Pharmacy, Laboratory, Dental Care, Emergency Medicine and a wide range of Family Practice and Primary Care offerings.
