“I started out as a Teachers Aid and bus driver here 10 years ago! It’s been a long road to today, but it was worth it! I have grown to appreciate the value of serving others and of a quality education. Education can help you see the world in a different way and that is something that is needed on the reservation.”

“Every Christmas, my father asks me: ‘Come fall, will you be putting your nursing degree to use?’ And every time I respond, ‘Maybe...’ as I think to myself, ‘why would I ever leave such a wonderful place?’ It is a joy to come to work every day and learn a little bit more about each one of these kids.”

“The most encouraging and exciting development I have recognized at Red Cloud is our commitment to giving back to the community. With the recent developments such as the Economic Development Initiative, Lakota Language Program, and partnerships with National Parks and SD State University, Red Cloud has been able to provide increasingly positive substance and growth to our organization while also contributing to the future success of the local community and tribal members.”
