Valentine Indian School, Valentine, Arizona

Weiser, December, 2004

When Valentine was established in 1898, it showed promise, expecially when 660 additional acres were set aside for the Native Americans. In 1901, a two story Indian School was built that served as a day school for the nearby Hualapai Indians and a boarding school for children of the Apache, Havasupai, Hopi, Mohave, Navajo and Papago tribes. A separate school was built for the white children southeast of the Indian school, now referred to as “The Red Schoolhouse.” The Indian School closed in 1937 but reopened sometime later, continuing on until 1969.
