This Native American Heritage Month, we honor the transformative work of the NACA Inspired Schools Network (NISN), a movement rooted in Indigenous excellence. Since 2015, NISN has been fostering Indigenous leadership by grounding learning in cultural experiences, histories, and languages, ensuring students are academically prepared, secure in their identities, and ready to transform their communities. Join us in celebrating the impact of NISN and its dedication to preserving and uplifting Indigenous communities nationwide. #CharterEducation #Charter #CharterSchools #Education #CharterGrowth #CSGF
