About Whiteriver Unified School District #20
Whiteriver Unified serves White Mountain Apache communities through three elementary schools, Canyon Day Junior High, and Alchesay High School. The elementary campuses keep younger students closer to their home communities, while the junior high and high school concentrate secondary teachers, activities, and services in shared districtwide settings.
Districtwide curriculum pages organize elementary instruction as K–5, junior high as grades 6–8, and high school as grades 9–12. That places the ordinary transitions to Canyon Day in sixth grade and Alchesay in ninth.
White Mountain Apache language, culture, and community relationships shape the schools across the sequence. Transportation remains central because students are distributed among several reservation communities before converging at the two secondary campuses.
