What is the American Indian Studies Program?

The American Indian Studies (AIS) Program provides the opportunity for ALL students, of any and all cultures, to learn American Indian history, literature, art, and language from a Native perspective.   Both Ojibwe and Lakota languages are offered at Battle Creek Middle School and Harding High School.  All AIS classes meet district and state content standards, and have been developed as rigorous, yet culturally competent courses. 

Through collaboration with the Saint Paul Indian Education Program, we offer additional support for American Indian students, including attendance and grade monitoring, college and career exploration, tutoring, and Support class. 

Parents and students, please contact your school counselor to register for AIS classes.
