The Education Departments Mission Statement:

The Education Department provides Tribal Members assistance in obtaining their educational goals by providing case management, financial assistance for college and technical school, scholarships for college students, and activities for tribal youth. Activities include but are not limited to a Summer School, After School Program, Tutoring, and a Student Recognition Dinner where all Tribal Children and adults in attendance are recognized for their progress in school. The focus for the Education Department is supporting students in their academic pursuit. The Education Department provides resources, guidance and support to help students become educated, healthy and well-rounded Tribal members as they progress toward their higher education and/or vocational aspirations.
The Education Department oversees the Tribal Library where there are hundreds of titles for Tribal Members of all ages to check out. The Tribal Library is maintained by a Librarian and Education Department Staff. We continue to expand the number of books on the shelves that inform our Tribal Community and capture the community’s interests.
The CTCLUSI Education department, pledges to provide both traditional learning and western principles of knowledge through the higher education Stipend Program, the Adult Education program, learning supports that allow for high school completion, tutoring and mentoring for middle and elementary school students who identify with indigenous traditions. The education Department is committed to helping tribal members examine their potential in contributing to the tribal community. As resources increase, the education department expects to further develop program offerings to the five county service and to all members of the General Council. Inspired by our territorial grandeur and respect for her stewardship, the education department is further invested in collaborations with all other departments, believing that many strands of cordage strengthens our longevity as a people.
