Kirk Ashworth's Wingate
Home Page I am in my seventh year at Wingate
High School--"The Place You Want To
Be." Located at the historic Shush Bi T'oh (Bear
Springs) near Gallup,
in northwestern New
Mexico,,
Wingate is the largest residential high school
operated by the US Bureau
of Indian Affairs. Over 90% of our students are Navajo,
but any enrolled tribal members may attend Wingate. For two and a half years I taught English
in the Special Education department; since January 1999, I have been teaching computer
skills classes. The picture above is an example of the work
my students create in class. Our school is excited about the possibilities
of using computer technology as a way to express Native American cultural traditions, values,
and art, and to share it with people all over the world....
