Borrego Pass School is a remote educational institution located in the high-desert landscape of northwestern New Mexico, situated near the community of Crownpoint within the Navajo Nation. As a school serving a predominantly Indigenous student population, it plays a vital role in integrating standard academic curricula with the preservation of Navajo culture, language, and traditional values.
