Senator Fred Harris received a progress report from Dillon Platero, Director of Rough Rock Demonstration School, about the plans for Rough Rock High School. The community is working on establishing a high school to maintain Indian direction of education from nursery school through junior college. The School Board has hired consultants in education and architecture to help with the planning process. The high school campus will be separate from the existing elementary school, and the community is requesting a $3 million appropriation from the federal government for the complete high school plant. The school facilities will be designed to accommodate 200 learners and will incorporate features that respect Navajo culture. Construction is planned to start in early 1972, with completion by 1973.
