Navajo Preparatory School is a college preparatory school located in Farmington, New Mexico. The school is fully sanctioned by the Navajo Nation since 1991 when the previous Navajo Academy closed due to lack of funding. The campus is currently undergoing a remodeling project for the past few years that includes new dormitories, classrooms, and an athletic sports complex. The school colors are Turquoise, Black, Yellow, and White which represent the 4 seasons in Navajo Culture and the mascot is the Eagle.
