American Indian Education

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.
