History

In 1993 the school system, including the tribal K-8 and school district high school, had a total of 600 students. John Macdonald of the Associated Press wrote that the facility "is generally a well-maintained building." [6] In 1993 the school temporarily closed after a boy died of a likely hantavirus infection. It later reopened. [7]

In the 2013–2014 school year, students at the high school had to do an evacuation after the water line broke. Students later came back to the school, but the administration decided the school needed to be replaced. In 2015 the U.S. Department of Education Impact Aid Program gave the district $3.6 million for a replacement building. [8]
