Holbrook Unified School District #3 - Helping Unique Students Develop

A Roadrunner THANK YOU to President Nez & Vice President Lizer along with Navajo County Supervisor Alberto Peshlakai for providing Holbrook Roadrunner t-shirts to the HHS basketball teams and fans. "After nearly two years of uncertainty, there is much to celebrate for our student athletes and fanbase in the southwest region of the great Navajo Nation. Their display of resiliency was shown on and off the court through sportsmanship, health and wellness, academic achievement and representation of our Navajo culture and values! Holbrook high school affords great learning opportunities for our youth along with competitive sports participation. As a token of gratitude to highlight their successes and the support of their fans, these t-shirts will represent their school spirit, team morale and appreciation of support from family and community. Best of luck Roadrunners! Go Big Red!” Thank you President Nez, Vice-President Lizer and Supervisor Peshlakai for recognizing these fine student-athletes and thank you for being Roadrunners! Fans- come out to the Roadrunner games for a chance at a t-shirt!

Greetings, Parents, and Guardians, Indian Wells Elementary school was alerted to a possible concern in the areas/communities serving IWES regarding people in a white van that may be engaging in unwanted communications with people in these communities. As a result, HUSD 3 will heighten supervision protocols throughout the district which will require ALL STUDENTS ARE PICKED UP AND SUPERVISED BY AN ADULT AT BUS DROP OFFS. Please be on time to pick up students from the bus. Students that are not picked up will be brought back to the respective schools and will need to be picked up by their parents. At this time there have been no specific incidents pertaining to this matter that we have been made aware of; however, we wish to be proactive in our communications and protocols to ensure the safety of our students and communities.
