Our Ways
Because language and culture revitalization are the heart of our school, Indian Community School has a dedicated Our Ways room and staff who ensure that Native languages and cultures are a part of everything we do. Our Ways staff assist in the integration of culture and academics; they coordinate cultural events and programming, and they serve as cultural resources for students, staff and the community.
The Our Ways room often serves as a gathering place for students, families, staff, and cultural guests. Community members are encouraged to contact the Our Ways Director or Coordinator with questions or to arrange a visit. For more information, please email mpowless@ics-edu.org or auwilliams@ics-edu.org, or call the school at 414-525-6100.
