Our school was awarded a grant from the Amazon Eastern Oregon Community Fund.

The project, “Treaty-Protected-Usual-Hunting-Sites” provides a time-relevant and culturally appropriate opportunity to share with the students of Nixyaawii Community School the significance and importance of practicing CTUIR’s Treaty Rights which was signed in 1855 with the US government when 6.4 million acres for a Umatilla Reservation that was less than half the 800 square miles promised. In the Treaty of 1855, the tribes reserved perpetual off-reservation rights to fish at their usual and accustomed sites, to trap, hunt and gather foods and medicines, and to pasture livestock on open and unclaimed lands.

Up to 6 Nixyaawii Students will be chosen to go to Yellowstone National Park, July 6-13. There is an application process that students must complete. More informatiion coming soon regarding the application.

Dear Nixyaawii students, parents, and community members, We would like to address concerns following yesterday’s walkout. Due to declining enrollment and cuts from the federal government on education funding, the school has been faced with the difficult decision to move forward with a Reduction in Force. This was not made lightly, both the School Board and Administration carefully discussed this over several months. We want to be clear: math instruction is not being eliminated. NCS will continue to meet the math needs of all students using current licensed staff, while also maintaining CTE programs and other elective courses currently offered. At the same time, we acknowledge that some classes taught by local CTUIR members have been reduced and are no longer available. We value these cultural offerings deeply and will continue to provide as many culturally relevant opportunities as possible, with the goal of engaging students in meaningful ways. We understand emotions are high, but it is important to recognize that some information shared has been misleading. We encourage students and families to seek accurate information directly from school administrator. Our commitment remains unchanged, to provide all students with a strong, stable, and well-rounded education. Sincerely Ryan Heinrich, Principal Candice Patrick, NCS Board Chair Go Golden Eagles!

All-State First Team! Congratulations, Kash, on an incredible season and a well-deserved honor. 🦅🏀
