Mission Statement

The mission of the school has changed since its inception early in this century. Founded as an agricultural and trade school, Sherman evolved into a comprehensive high school in order to better meet the needs of all Native American youth. In 1970, Sherman was accredited as a secondary school accepting student from across the nation. Sherman was initially accredited as a comprehensive high school in 1995 by the Western Association for Schools and Colleges, WASC.

Philosophy Statement

"Through shared decision making the students, staff, parents, school board, and community of SHERMAN INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL will provide a safe, caring, environment in which a balanced program will foster the academic, social, cultural, physical, and spiritual growth of a diverse population of AMERICAN INDIANS in an off-reservation boarding school for post-secondary success.
Bottom Line: Produce A Good Human Being!"

Vision Statement

". . .and to this end, we will cultivate and sustain a learning community (to include all staff, students, parents, guardians, tribal leaders, educational coordinators, and board members) dedicated to continuous learning and renewal through self-improvement and assessment, recommitment and collegial support."
