Indian Education Services at Johnson
The SPPS Indian Education Program's mission is to assist American Indian students in graduating from high school with a quality education and a positive cultural personal identity.
Indian Education staff visit Johnson High School to provide unique cultural services to Native American students and to collaborate with staff on programming.
- Because Johnson has a Braided Journeys Program embedded at the site every day, Indian Education services are provided on a limited basis at this site. Please contact Julia Littlewolf, the Johnson Braided Journeys program lead with questions, service inquires, and support resources available at Johnson.
