We are Native
But we are more than all of these things. We are Choctaw Proud.
Anyone can be Choctaw Proud. The Choctaw Proud are humble, appreciative people who value faith, family and culture. We honor the past, live in the present and look to the future. We are resilient people, overcoming adversity with grace and dignity. Those who are Choctaw Proud work hard to be successful and give back to their communities.

Stephanie Roberts
Teacher
This month, thousands of students across the U.S. will grab their backpacks, load up their supplies and head out the door for the first day of the new school year.
