The two would talk for hours. The two met on several occasions. Much later Billy's mother Ester Coho said that they were taking about possibly building a school in the area. Billy Coho was very interested in the school to be built he went as far as offering 3 possible sites where the school will be built. Each site had certain problems that needed to be solved like land issues and the environment. Finally Billy Coho just offered to move his family to a different place and build the school on his home land where is presently living. Once the land was identify the first founding School Board members was selected.

The Ramah Navajo School Board had to go to Washington D.C. on several occasions to ask for funding to renovate the old high school in Ramah, New Mexico. The Ramah Navajo School Board was trying to raise all kinds of money to start the school in the community. Board members fought for a school in the community. Finally, in 1967 the old Ramah High school opened and ran for three years while the construction was under way at Pine Hill. Congress approved funding in 1969, and immediately construction started. At the time the school was being built Fred was away in a boarding school in Utah because there was no high school near by. Everyone in the area went to school away from home that is why Billy Coho and the founders of the Ramah Navajo School Board wanted the school to be built here. That way they wouldn't have to see their children going away. This school current day was for the future generation.
