Students of Big Pine Unified School District and children on the Big Pine Paiute Tribe Reservation benefit from community-oriented programs and activities. This includes tutoring and guidance for grades Kindergarten through 5th every day after school. Our successful program for Junior High encourages PRIDE (Purpose Respect Integrity Discipline Education) in all their pursuits. High school programs emphasize direct work experience, enabling youth to explore various career opportunities while building job skills and celebrating academic achievements.

With funding from the State of California and Tribal TANF, the Big Pine Indian Education Center serves the needs of Big Pine’s tribal community in their pursuit of education, health and wellness.
