Shelton's Native American Education

Native American Education

Native American Education Program (NAEP)

“ We have to work with each other. Our earth is crying. And it’s crying for help. In the everyday movement of our country, you can make a difference. You can make a difference.”
- Billy Frank Jr.

The mission of the Title VI Native American Education program is to provide academic and cultural programming for Native American students. “Since Time Immemorial” curriculum is used throughout the district. The Title VI program has been in operation for over 30 years. We have five Native American Education Tutors in the Shelton School District that work with students at every building.  Services include:
  • Academic help and educational values
  • Career awareness
  • Cultural awareness/guidance
  • Dropout prevention
  • Self-confidence building opportunities
  • Native American identity reinforcement
  • Community updates and awareness
  • Liaison between parents, students, teachers and the school
  • Inter-Tribal Parent Advisory Committee

NAEP Para Tech Staff:

If you, your child or his/her grandparent are an enrolled member of an American Indian Tribe or Alaska Native group, then your child may be eligible to be enrolled in our Title VI program.

Native American Youth Leadership Academy (NAYLA)

The NAYLA program is geared to help gather Native American youth from across the Western Washington region. It develops leadership, communication, and life skills for Native youth in a safe and nurturing environment. These students, that represent many districts, gather and discuss topics that affect their lives and how to approach solving issues. Along with making new friends and stepping out of their comfort zones, these students learn to become leaders in their schools, among their peers, and in their communities. For more information about NAYLA, visit http://wwnaec.org/nayla/.
