Kayenta Chapter (a political division within the Navajo Nation that is analogous to a county within a state) encompasses land in both Utah and Arizona.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 13.2 square miles (34 km2), all land.

The population density was 393.1 inhabitants per square mile (151.8/km2) with a total of 1,375 housing units.

Recent decisions to rename some schools have been made to honor specific individuals from the community.

While the school board has cited community support for these changes, some public discussion and debate continue.

The Kayenta Unified School District #27 is governed by a five-member board of trustees elected by popular vote with the sole interest of ensuring our students receive educational opportunities they are entitled to and deserve.

Iverna Parrish-John is the President of the governing board for the Kayenta Unified School District.
