Red Mesa High School
Red Mesa High School is a high school in Red Mesa in an unincorporated area of Apache County, Arizona, near Teec Nos Pos. It is one of two high schools under the jurisdiction of the Red Mesa Unified School District, along with Red Valley/Cove High School.
Little Dan, a medicine man from Sweetwater, dedicated the A, B, and C Buildings. Before the high school opened, small high school classes met at the elementary school. Red Mesa was originally a part of the Chinle Unified School District. In July 1983 the Red Mesa Unified School District formed, splitting from the Chinle School District. In 1987 the high school gymnasium was completed.
It operates an FM radio station, KRMH 89.7. The school nickname is "The Redskins". The majority of students are Native American.
Ian Shapira of The Washington Post wrote that the school administration and community mostly supports the use of "Redskins".
