Proud moment for our organization!

Our very own dedicated volunteer, Daryl Crawford, appeared on ARC Reno on Fox 11 this morning in honor of National Navajo Code Talker Day.

Daryl did an incredible job sharing the powerful legacy of his father’s service as a Navajo Code Talker during World War II. We are so grateful to Daryl for keeping this vital history alive and representing our community so beautifully on television.

Great job, Daryl! Thank you for your continued dedication both to our team and to honoring your family's incredible heritage.

Honoring history, resilience, and community this weekend.

Clear Creek has always served as the southern boundary of the Stewart campus. In the early years of the school, it held a deeper, heavier meaning. Parents would set up camp just across the south side of the creek, waiting and hoping for even a brief glimpse of their missing children.

Today, it is a solemn, quiet, and peaceful little stream. It winds its way down from the Carson Range, eventually joining the Carson River, carrying with it generations of tears washed from this landscape.

This Sunday, August 16, we are deeply honored to welcome the runners of the 2026 Remembrance Run. This vital event pays tribute to the strength, endurance, and spirit of the Indigenous Boarding School Era survivors.

Join us on campus for special weekend hours, community events, and to support local vendors:

When: This Sunday, August 16, 2026
Special Hours: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Where: Campus grounds
Come walk the grounds, reflect by the creek, support the runners, and engage with our community vendors. We look forward to welcoming you.
