Native American Education

North Kitsap School District is honored to serve the Suquamish Tribe and the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe. Our Native American Education Program, funded through a Title VI grant, supports the academic growth, cultural identity, and overall success of our Native American and Alaska Native students.

We partner closely with both tribes to ensure our work reflects their history, values, and priorities. Through ongoing collaboration and regular Inter-Tribal Parent Education Committee meetings, tribal families and leaders help guide program decisions. Their input shapes how we support students and how we teach local Tribal history and contemporary Tribal life across our schools.

The program provides academic support, cultural learning opportunities, and family engagement. It also helps ensure students feel connected, represented, and supported in their school experience.

This partnership strengthens the entire district. By learning about the history and contributions of the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribes, all students gain a deeper understanding of the community they are part of. We are committed to creating schools where every student belongs, every culture is respected, and every learner has the opportunity to thrive.
