As the Cherokee Nation continues to grow, education and opportunities for tribal citizens remain a strategic priority. Education services provide educational, history, cultural, language, scholarship and youth leadership opportunities for eligible Cherokee Nation citizens.
From the Early Childhood Unit to its cultural camps and ambassador programs, Cherokee youth have many ways to become active in Cherokee language and culture. For those citizens who wish to pursue higher education degrees, Cherokee Nation offers a variety of scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students. The tribe also operates historic Sequoyah High School, with students representing more than 80 tribes. SHS offers a curriculum and learning experience uniquely tailored for Native students.
Cherokee Nation Education Services offers numerous professional development opportunities for educators throughout the year, including the annual Teachers of Successful Students (TOSS) Summit. Many school personnel also have the opportunity to attend Tribal Consultation events, Public School Appreciation Day, and the Teacher of the Year celebration, further emphasizing Cherokee Nation's dedication to our students and educators.
