Welcome TCES families!! My name is Sophia Begody, your principal here at Tuba City Elementary School. My maternal clan is Red House, I am born for Edgewater, my maternal grandfather’s clan is Bitterwater, and my paternal grandfather’s clan is the Reed People.

I am so excited to bring in the new school year, there is so much to look forward to and I just want to thank you for entrusting your children to us and welcoming you all to the Tuba City Unified School District family. This school year, we have onboarded four new teachers and an assistant principal to our school! We will continue to transition our academics, athletics, and culture to meet the needs of our students and families. Please join us in meeting our goals, which is communicated through our district and school mission and vision:
