My name is Terrence Yazzie. I am from the community of Teesto/Seba Dalkai representing the Dilcon Community School, Inc. As a newly elected board member at-large for the Teesto and Indian Wells communities. I am privileged to have been elected and excited to assist in planning for the students and parents of Dilcon Community School, Inc. for the next four years. I’ve been an educator since November 2005, teaching in three schools in the surrounding community. I feel that my education and my experience in education has helped prepare me for the task of becoming a local school leader. With the help of my fellow board members, I foresee Dilcon Community School, Inc. in becoming a school of excellence.
