A charter school in Arizona is helping youth of
Tohono O'odham Nation stay connected to their culture and succeed in the academic world.
The
Ha:sañ Preparatory & Leadership School, which isn't located on the reservation, met adequate yearly progress (AYP) standards under the
No Child Left Behind Act. Two schools on the reservation did not.
At Ha:sañ, students take O'odham language courses, learn traditional songs and grow traditional crops. Half of the teachers are Indian.
