DEDICATION

Charley Long

Board Member of the Year

Charley Long, Sr., NCA AdvancED School Board Member of the Year. Mr.
Long serves as the bridge across time in the school’s history since 1991.
As an advocate for capital funding, the school completed three phases of
renovation and construction. Mr. Long fully supported the approval of the
International Baccalaureate Diploma Program because he believes that
global education is important for our students. He recognizes that the
world is different today and that our young people live in a global village
with technology connecting us all. As a board member he carries an iPad
and feels comfortable using the iPad to download his board packet for

pride in themselves.

(Resolution ECMY-33-91). The school is incorporated under the Navajo
Nation Corporation Code and the New Mexico State Corporation
Commission as a non-profit organization under 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.
Navajo Prep School is located in Farmington, New Mexico on

MESSAGE FROM
HEAD OF SCHOOL

Clans: Kinyaa’aanii, Naakaii Dine’e,
Kinłichiinii, Naneesht’ezhi
Shiprock, NM

Serving as Head of School for Navajo
Preparatory School is not only a journey of
self-discovery for me, but also a journey
through time. No words can express the
gift given to me to serve as your leader
in education for 26 years (1991-current).
My heartfelt appreciation is extended
to all those who are, or have been, a
piece of the puzzle in contributing to
this great learning community. Above
all else, “áshin nee” to all past, current
and future students who are the heart
and soul of this School.

This report provides a general summary of

where we are in 2017 and from which

we will continue to go forward. Betty Ojaye, Head of School

Academic excellence has always been the

flagship theme of Navajo Preparatory School since the school’s inception. We

always rise to this occasion evidenced by 95-100% of our graduates going on

to colleges and universities every year.

We started from a humble beginning in 1991. Today we are part of a global
community of schools developing knowledgeable and caring young people
who will negotiate their futures successfully as “Yideeskaagóó Naat’áanii.” As
an International Baccalaureate World School offering a Diploma Programme,
our students have an educational opportunity that only a million other students
in 146 countries in the world have. Our teachers, students, staff, parents and
community have embraced this challenge with commitment and dedication.
The difference we are making in the lives of students is nothing short of legendary.
Our next challenge is to achieve authorization in the IB Career-Related Program
to engage students in career-related learning for college and career readiness
in this ever changing world.

Ahe’hee, Navajo Prep Family, from the bottom of my heart for this incredible
journey.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Rotary Scholarship

We are currently in our 17th year with San Juan Rotary awarding scholarships
to a Navajo Preparatory School student. Due to monetary reasons, San Juan
Rotary cut back the amount from $1000 to $500 per year for a NPS student.
This year the award went to senior student, Justin Cleveland, a $500.00
scholarship on Tuesday, December 06, 2016 at their monthly luncheon held
at Pinon Hills Community Church. His mother was in attendance at the
Rotary function. Admissions answered questions regarding our school and
the IB program.

Eve’s Fund

We are currently in our 6th year with Eve’s Fund donating scholarship monies
for student fees. Eve’s fund was created in 2011 to address the educational
needs of high school students on the Navajo Nation. Each year the amount
of money that is awarded is determined on the number of donations that
Barbara Crowell Roy has spearheaded with much purpose on behalf of her
daughter Eve, who died in 2005. Below is a listing of the students from 2011-

Navajo Preparatory School 2017 Annual Report 44

Collaborative Approach with
Mercy Sports Center

In October 2016 the Navajo Prep School entered into an agreement with
Mercy Regional Medical Center, Mercy Sports Center, to contract a full-time
Certified Athletic Trainer for prevention of injuries, evaluation, treatment, and
rehabilitation of student-athlete injuries. Athletic Training services began in
November 2016 for the winter and spring seasons.

APatient, Injuries & Time Loss
Patient Type The athletic training clinic at Navajo Preparatory School
sees patients from 8th grade through seniors throughout the year.
The age range of patients are 13-18 year old high school student athletes.
Patient Encounters We began our services with your high school in November
a week before Thanksgiving holiday began. As the school year went on, there
was an increase in encounters due to the student athletes becoming aware of
our services available to them. The highest patient encounter month for this
year was in February when both basketball teams were finishing their seasons
and progressing into their post season. During the spring season, there was
an equal number of encounters for both months. In May, this was the end of
spring season with only one sport progressing into post season activities.

Female Injuries
A majority of injuries seen in female student-athletes were lower limb injuries.
Most common were knee (26) and ankle (20) injuries. Finally, upper extremity
injuries were commonly shoulder (17) or elbow injuries (6).
Male Injuries
Majority of injuries seen in male student-athletes were lower limb injuries. Most
common were knee (17) and ankle (15) injuries. Did perform 4 concussion exams
on male athletes and only one was tested to be positive. Upper extremity injuries
were most often shoulder injuries (12).

BNumber of Treatments
A large number of treatments within Navajo Prep Athletic Training
clinic were treatments and evaluations; which consisted of initial and
follow-up evaluations, massage therapy, or basic rehabilitation programs.

CValue of Treatments
Treatments and evaluations services provided the biggest value for
this year. Even though the total amount of services provided was
dominated by ice pack/heat pack (455), the best service value was
evaluations/ re-evaluations given to athletes for each of their injuries.

DOverall Value by Sport
Since both Girls Basketball and Softball had the highest amount of
treatments preformed, their value of the treatments are the highest as
well. This is likely a reflection type of services provided for the teams.
Example, Boys Basketball could have received more valuable services such as
treatments and evaluations while Softball could have received less valuable
services such as taping or ice/heat applications.

ECoverage Assessment
The athletic training clinic was open or available 135 days during the
2016-17 academic calendar. This is more than the 132 days of school
for Navajo Preparatory School in the same time period. The athletic
training clinic is typically open from 1 to 7:00pm during the week. On game
days the clinic opens 1 hour before and at least ½ hour after games. There
were 86 home varsity (or JV/V/C) events during this past year. During home
games, the athletic trainer was responsible for being on the sideline to provide
care for any situation or injury that occurred during the game. The ratio of
practice to events allowed the athletic training clinic to be open and available
74 % of the time.
