MISSION

Established at the request of the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Federation of Natives, RAHI has been preparing rural and ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native high school students for academic excellence and college success since 1983.

At RAHI, students take an average of 9 college credits in six weeks and learn how to thrive academically by experiencing life on campus, enhancing self-confidence and discipline, and developing a state-wide community to carry with them throughout their lives. RAHI is offered at no cost to students.
