The American Indian Education Program supports all Title VII students in developing and achieving academic, cultural, social, and personal goals. We provide access to available community resources and create opportunities that ensure all American Indian/Alaskan Native students have access to a high quality, standardsbased education that inspires learning, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and self-esteem.
Our mission statement: To provide paths that foster character, cultural awareness and academic excellence in our American Indian students and to empower them to positively impact the world as great leaders and life-long learners.
Any student with American Indian ancestry who is either an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe; has a parent that is an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe; or has a grandparent that is an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe. At least one of the above must apply.
