We believe this is due to the longstanding support from our families. local businesses and community leaders like you.

Our fundrasier, "Cherokee, A Diamond in the Desert," will take place on April 1, 2022. This event, hosted by the Cherokee Association of Parents and Teachers (APT) is instrumental in funding the programs and the education of children in our community. The funds raised through "Cherokee, A Diamond in the Desert," will provide our students andour our community with the education, support and enrichment that they have grown to expect from our exceptional school.

The funds raised through our annual gala go directly to our teachers and our diverse student population and provide help to our hard working staff and students wth non-state funded prograns such as:
