Eighty-four American Indian students from grades 7 through 12 were celebrated and honored at a lunch on February 24 for making the Honor Roll during the first half of the school year. All students represented Del Norte County Unified School District upper grades. The lunch was hosted by the School District’s Title VII American Indian Education program, the Northern California Indian Development Council, and local tribes including the Tolowa Nation, Yurok Tribe, Elk Valley Rancheria, Resighini Rancheria and Smith River Rancheria. Students and their families enjoyed homemade spaghetti, and received certificates of recognition, movie passes or coffee cards for achieving their above average grades.
