Holbrook SDA Indian School
Holbrook Indian School provides a safe place for Native American students to learn and grow in the Creator while preserving and celebrating their Native culture.
There once was a style of boarding school aimed to destroy all aspects of Native culture, especially outward signs of tribal life. During the late 1800s, Native children were forced to cut their hair and were forbidden to speak in their Native languages. Holbrook Indian School opened its doors in 1946 and has since provided a safe place for students to learn and grow in the Creator while also preserving and celebrating their Native culture.
