Lakota (Sioux) students and their guests model 70s costumes that matched the banquet’s disco theme.

Native American students at St. Joseph's Indian School who earned a spot on the A or B honor roll for the fall semester were recognized at our annual academic banquet.

For the event, students invited a mentor, favorite teacher, counselor or houseparent to join them in the festivities. The theme varies with each celebration, and January's theme was a disco party!  

In addition to the party, each Lakota student received a certificate to commemorate his/her achievement. They also recieved feather with their names sketched on the quill.

• In first through eighth grades, three students earned A honor roll recognition.
• 28 students received B honor roll recognition.
• Nine high school students also attended the banquet for earning honor roll marks at Chamberlain High School.

Fr. Steven Huffstetter, Director of St. Joseph’s Indian School presents a feather with Avery’s name sketched onto the quill.
