School Notes
- 6 furnished classrooms, 6 full-time and thoroughly trained educators, 2 highly qualified pastors, 1 experienced money manager, a subsidized lunch program, high school quality gym and stage facilities, a Title I reading program with fully trained staff, an expansive library and the history of the oldest continuously operating school - more than 100 years - on the White Mountain Apache Reservation are really just the beginning of the finer points that East Fork has to offer. But step onto our campus and we know you'll notice the difference that so many people experience but can't quite name. Lean in a little closer and l'll tell you the secret - It's the Love that is simply the only way of being at our school and in our lives. All of the things that said before this pale in comparison with the biggest thing that makes East Fork different - and that is the fact that we operate from a position of thankfulness, love and joy in our Savior Jesus Christ. We can't help but share that wonder with all the people we meet and that includes you and your children. What makes East Fork unique Our central focus is the preaching of Christ and his glorious salvation in every aspect of our very existence and that includes teaching and training children.
