Hoop of Learning Program

I wanted to announce to any families who have 9th through 12th grade students that there is a program called Hoop of Learning that is coordinated by the Maricopa County Community College system. They are offering Navajo language and government classes through this program. If you want more information, please contact Lynette Jim at South Mountain Community College. She will be more than happy to answer questions about the program or enrollment. Hoop of Learning is a great academic enrichment program to help local Native American high school students earn extra credit and get an early start in their college studies. Programs and classes offered county-wide. If you want more information, see the requirements below and contact Lynette.
