The Need

Coconino County Accommodation School District offers supports and services for all students. Students are met where they are at in order to receive a Cognia accredited high school diploma. This school district understands that life circumstances can impact a student’s academic progress and we are willing to work with ALL students.  There are 5 school entities within our district including the County Jail, Juvenile Detention, Online Instruction, Tse’ Yaato High School in Page and Ponderosa High School in Flagstaff, Arizona.  Every student has a story and every teacher is able to creatively work to provide a caring, supportive, “non-traditional” approach to learning.
