Apache County Information

November 2012 Page 3 History of Apache County The following information was taken in part from the Apache County, Arizona Centennial Book and the Apache County Commemorative Newsletter

On February 24, 1879 the Tenth Territorial Legislature created Apache County out of Yavapai County, one of the four original Arizona counties. The newly created county encompassed all of the present‐day Navajo and Apache counties and parts of Graham and Greenlee counties.

Much of the 20,940 square miles was unknown and uninhabited. Apache and Navajo Indians continued to raid settlements. The entire county was torn by a range war between the Texas cattlemen, who were new to the area and Mexican and Indian sheepherders.

The area assigned to Apache County was not to remain undisturbed for in 1881 that part of it between the Black and Gila Rivers was cut off to form part of what is now Graham County. Apache also lost a great stretch of land when Navajo County was formed.

Apache County’s present area is 7,151,360 acres. Snowflake was designated the county seat when it was first formed. After the first elections in the fall of 1879, the county government was set up at St. Johns. In 1880 St. Johns was superseded by Springerville. Springerville remained the county seat for two years until 1882, when St. Johns again became the county seat and has remained so.

Prior to 1977, the supervisors were all elected in the southern part of the county. Tom Shirley was the first Native American to be elected as county supervisor for the Sanders district. When new supervisory districts were drawn up to more equally represent the population, district were created and centered on Chinle, Ganado and St. Johns.

The Northern half of Apache County lies within the boundaries of the 14,450,369 acre Navajo Reservation. The reservation is changing rapidly, but the landmarks and history stay as they have always been.

Navajo land has within its boundaries some of the most spectacular monuments that have been created by nature. It has often been said that within the Navajo land lie the “Seven Wonders of the Navajo World”.

Apache County celebrated its 125 years in 2004. In that time we have changed from a pioneer community to a modern, rural regional economy. The early industries such as ranching and native arts are now supplemented by modern transportation, major power plants, tourism, education, technology, communications, forestry, resource management and government services.

Recent improvements to roads, our county jail, courts and schools have offered benefits to our citizens. We endeavor to pursue a quality, countywide educational system in order to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for our next generation to have all the advantages of a good public education, from finding meaningful employment to contribution to their families’ and communities’ futures.

Dear Reader;

This Process Analysis manual has been specifically prepared as a tool to guide us in understanding data. To plan, develop, establish and implement appropriate educational services to all of our eleven public school districts in Apache County. We and our school districts use this information to chart progress made in many areas and to help make decisions to guide our educational policies and priorities in the future.

It is also a guide for those who are interested in providing the needed services to all the students, school district staff, school administrators, school boards and parents.

I thank my dedicated staff in making this manual possible for all of us.

Dr. Pauline M. Begay Apache County Schools Superintendent

Our Student Population

November 2012 Page 24 DATA ANALYSIS AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

In the field of education, there is no shortage of information. Results from standardized testing, student demographics, NCLB and state reports of school performance are not difficult to find.

At the Apache County School Superintendent’s Office, we are charged with providing assistance to the schools in our county, as per ARS 15‐302‐11. To assist in that process, we collect and analyze different types of data to help track our schools successes and student achievement. Our ongoing effort is in deciding how to best interpret this information and assess its value in helping to drive decision‐ making for professional development and increasing student performance within our schools.

Our approach is to view the different types of data as pieces of the overall puzzle and to combine the information in order to generate effective strategies.

To this end, the data provided in this document is not only to inform the reader of current facts and figures, but will be analyzed in partnership with our districts and school administrators. This will help identify where improvements need to occur, and to chart the policies and strategies to create, and to monitor the effectiveness of those improvements. It is not only what we know about our schools, but how we approach the combined data for analysis and insights as to which choices will generate the desired results, leading to better and more helpful strategies for reaching our educational goals.

This chart shows the proportion of students in Apache County based on ethnicity. With little variation year to year, the overwhelming majority are Native Americans. Due to our population being reflective of the on and off‐reservation communities, many of our northern schools have a student population of over 95% Native American. This offers both challenges and opportunities as we and our school districts work toward continued improvement of our students' academic success.
