    AUA Solar Panel Campaign

    Our story & opportunity

    AUA family, you are aware that AUA has been teaching students to Love God, Serve Others, and Value Learning since 1904. That is 118 years. While we have dedicated staff and volunteers working hard to maintain our aging facilities, there are areas that need attention. We have roofs that need repair or replacement, and we have 20+ aging AC/Heating units that need replacing in the near future.

    Our budget is tight and does not include the extra dollars to address these issues.  One way to address this issue is to cut the cost of our electricity. Our annual power bills average $30,000 to $35,000 per year. The installation of ground mount solar panels could save us a significant percent of that amount every year-dollars that could be reallocated to upgrading our physical plant.

    Double Your Impact with the Giving Match

    The Armona Union Academy Endowment is offering to match the money we can raise to install solar panels dollar for dollar up to half the cost of installation!

     We have the opportunity to purchase a $160,000 to $170,000 ground mount solar system for $75-$85,000! Anything you can give will help us to reach this goal. Thank  you for your prayers and for your dollars for this needed upgrade.  Donations are tax deductible.  Please make your checks out to Armona Union Academy and write “Solar Panels” in the memo line.

  • AUA Mission Trip & Service Week 2019

    AUA Mission Trip & Service Week 2019

    Armona Union Academy students and staff spent a week serving their local community and La Vida Mission in New Mexico.

    Mission Trip to La Vida Mission

    La Vida Mission is a Christian non-profit mission serving the Navajo Nation for more than 50 years. The services provided include:

    • A Seventh-day Adventist based boarding academy for Navajo children (grades K -12).
    • Mail service for 200+ families in our community who might otherwise not be able to receive essential mail due to lack of transportation (no rural mail delivery and over 85 miles between Post Offices).
    • Life-sustaining water to many families here in the desert who have no wells or other source of water to support their families and livestock (3 Million gallons/year)
    • Evangelistic outreach with on-going Bible studies, a Healthy Lifestyle Education Center, a Prison Ministry, a Church Plant (Crownpoint), a Community Services Center
      Most importantly, our aim is to share “Jesus” with all those around us.
