Dear TCJH Families,

Welcome to the start of an exciting new school year! We are excited to see our students return and look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and success.

This year, all students will be using a school planner to help them stay organized with assignments, goals, and important reminders. Please encourage your child to bring their planner daily and check it regularly for updates.

We want to remind families of the importance of being on time and attending school every day. Regular attendance and punctuality play a big role in student success.

We also ask for support in following our cell phone policy. Students are expected to keep their phones turned off and stored away during the school day to minimize distractions and promote focused learning.

You are invited to join us for Parent Orientation on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm in the TCJHS Cafeteria. This is a great opportunity to meet staff, learn about expectations, and hear how we can work together for a successful school year.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Let’s make this a great year!

Respectfully,

Ms. C. Benally, Ed.S – Principal
Mr. M. Balcerek – Dean of Students
TCJHS Teachers and Staff

Meet The Principal

Hello! My name is Constance Benally, and I am proud to serve as the Principal of Tuba City Jr. High School.  I have been in education for 26 years, with 19 of these years dedicated to the Tuba City Unified School District.  Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a variety of roles, including school counselor, classroom teacher, dean of students, and now principal.
I am passionate about working with teachers, parents, and students, and I strongly believe that every individual has the potential to become a positive, contributing citizen.  My goal is to help nurture that potential by fostering a supportive and empowering school environment.
I truly love and respect my teachers for their hard work and unwavering dedication to our students. Tuba City Jr. High School holds a special place in my heart, and I find great joy in watching our students grow academically, emotionally, and socially as they become confident and self-sufficient young adults.
I look forward to continuing to serve our school community and working together to ensure success for all our students.
