Native School Retools (edu)

Klamath River Early College of the Redwoods has gone through some major changes this school year. 

The charter school's founder Geneva Wiki handed over her role as director to Sarah Supahan, who works part-time as superintendent of Burnt Ranch School District, and Bernadette Johnson, the dean of students. 

 

Supahan and Johnson have tried a few new ways of doing things at the high school in Klamath and believe that through trial and error they found a system that works. 

 

KRECR teaches students California-mandated standards and offers them the classes they need to go to college while offering the opportunity to earn up to an associate's degree (tuition-free) while in high school. 

 

Students at KRECR not only learn what they need to get into college, but, being on the Yurok Tribe reservation, learn about the tribe's language and culture.
