Twin Buttes High School
Principal: AJ Gilland P.O. Box 680 Zuni, New Mexico 87327 Ph: 505 782-4446 Fx: 505 782-4944 Main Website Faculty and Staff Virtual Tour Slide Show Twin Buttes High School originally was the Zuni Learning Center administered by the Zuni Tribe. TBHS is housed in a traditional stone and adobe building constructed during the 1930's. In 1983, it became part of the school district to serve those students who were not being educated through the typical mainstream curriculum model implemented at the other high school. It has 65 students (grades 8-12) and a very low teacher-pupil ratio. Collaborative decision making is integral to the day-to-day operation of the school with all decisions from budget to scheduling made by all staff members. Twin Buttes High School is a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools. The Nine Common Principles provide the framework for the school's curriculum, scheduling, climate and expectations. The affective development of students is a focus of many all school activities including camping, hiking, and other experiences. One of the goals of Coalition Schools is to establish a tone of decency. One strategy to accomplish this is through the activities of the Personal and Social Responsibility Curriculum. Some of the non-traditional offerings are Service Learning, Horticulture, Natural Resources and Community Arts. The students in the art classes have consistently won awards at the Heard Museum and Northern Arizona University student shows. They also have worked on archaeological digs, at the A:shiwi A:wan Museum, the Shiwi Messenger as journalism interns. Students from the Natural Resources classes work with the staff of the tribal conservation projects. Students also have made trips to Mexico, the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone as culmination of environmental studies projects. For the first time in 1997, the seniors presented their Graduation Through Exhibition projects to the community as well as their peers, parents and teachers. Examples of the projects included: An historical look at Frank Hamilton Cushing by a young man now writing articles for the Shiwi Messenger. A discussion of livestock and land management on the reservation by a student now attending UNM; and A demonstration of reading proficiency skills by a student with severe developmental disabilities Since 1987, the district has operated Kids' World, day care program for infants and toddlers of Zuni high school aged parents. It is a model program that provides instructional programs for both young women and their boyfriends or husbands covering prenatal care, birth and postnatal care, parenting skills and child development. The classes are open to other students, too, and its goal to help teen-agers delay another pregnancy and parenting responsibilities until they complete their education. Since 1992, TBHS has been involved in Service Learning and is a requirement for graduation. Students have job placements at the Indian Health Services Hospital, A:shiwi A:wan Museum, A:shiwi Elementary School, the Tribal WIC Program, the Zuni Archaeology Program, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Forestry Department and the Zuni Conservation Project. They work at these sites with job duties developed by the participating agencies. As one of the culminating activities, Service Learning students present their projects and observations in a public forum. Top of Page |
