Ohkay Owingeh
means "Place of Strong People" and here at the Ohkay Owingeh
Community School (OOCS) we work hard to build strong students
by providing a culturally relevant curriculum for grades K-8.
In fact, at the Ohkay Owingeh Community School
all of our students have the opportunity to study their native Tewa
language.
Our school is accredited by the State of New Mexico Department
of Education and the North Central Association. In 2001, a 5-year,
21st Century Grant was received. This grant created a
Pueblo consortium that includes San Juan, San Felipe, Isleta
and Acoma Pueblos. The $750,000 grant expands on the
educational services already being provided by each Pueblo
through their prospective schools.
We are really
proud of our school, our students, and our teachers. If
you would like to learn more about our school or our
innovative new programs, please give us a call at
