CPS Native American Programs

We would like to give a HUGE thank you to Cherokee Chief Hoskin, Speaker Shambaugh, and the other representatives from the Cherokee Nation for visiting our district on Friday, February 24, 2023.

The Chief and Speaker presented Colcord Public Schools with a check to install secure entrances across the district. The Chief and Speaker also took a tour of our elementary school and met with several students and staff members.

We would also like to give a BIG thank you to everyone who bought a t-shirt during our Cherokee Club funraiser. These funds are used to supplement our JOM & Title VI funds and provide our program and students with additional resources, materials, and activities!

Tashina Weaver, Chloe Price, and Katy England are the ladies that made this fundraiser happen! Thank you ladies for all you do for our students!😃

Congratulations to Mrs. LeAnn Rogers. She has been selected as a finalist for Cherokee Nation Teacher of the Year. All finalists will be recognized at the Public School Appreciation Day event on March 28th at Hard Rock Casino.

7th and 8th Grade Native American Studies recently learned about Native American Boarding Schools. Students learned about the detrimental effects these boarding schools had on the Native languages and cultures.

7th and 8th Grade Native American Studies is currently learning about Native American Code Talkers and the effects of war.

Cherokee language students are currently learning an abundance of words and phrases from the Cherokee Language Manual. Students quiz weekly over new words learned.
