Indigenous Education
The Indigenous Education Program at South Washington County Schools was created with the support of the Department of Educational Achievement and Integration.
The program's goal is to successfully assist our Native American students and their families in navigating the school system so our students can reach their full potential to earn a high school diploma and become career and/or college-ready.
Currently, we provide the following services:
- Connect students to culturally relevant academic resources
- Provide academic support
- Attend parent-teacher meetings
- Support American Indian families
- Provide resources to teachers
