Draft:Little Big Horn High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Little Big Horn High School was a Chicago area school that focused on the Chicago Native American community. The first graduating class, in 1972, was of three students[1]. The school was based in the former Robert Morris Elementary School in the Wrigleyville area[2].

The school mainly sought to deal with the high rate of drop outs from the Native American community in Chicago, up to 95% in mainstream schools.[2]. Lucille St Germaine, a Native American activist was the principal of the school for most of its existence[2]
