American Indian Education

GCS American Indian Education Program supports Native American students to be academically achieving citizens who are prepared to be successful in a globally competitive environment.

Some ways the AIE Program supports our students and families:

• Culture Activities - We provide opportunities for students to engage in regular culture activities facilitated by Native community members.
• Counseling and Mentoring - As Native people, there is strength in community and being with our people. Culturally-relevant counseling shows to increase self-esteem, mental health, and confidence.
• College and Career Readiness - We work with our High School to work on college/career planning, coordinate college tours, and assist with financial aid and tribal enrollment processes.
• Family Advocacy and Support - We work to help American Indian families navigate a number of stressors and/or get connected to others who can help to resolve the issue.
• Classroom/District Equity Initiatives - Through sharing resources, facilitating training, and teaching lessons, we are available to collaborate with teachers and district staff to support the education of all students.
