honda* was excelling in her classes. She had overcome many obstacles and was looking forward to the coming school year. Unfortunately, over the summer she experienced a life-altering trauma that set her back emotionally— further than when she first arrived at Holbrook Indian School (HIS). The worst part of this story is that this was not an isolated incident. Many students at HIS need positive guidance and direction over the summer months, which is the reason the school offers a Summer Experience for students. In 2017, Holbrook Indian School stepped out in faith and began providing year-round services to students through the HIS Summer Experience and Leadership program. Throughout the summer months, this program aims to continue to provide the safe haven that many of our students depend on during the school year. Starting at the beginning of June through the middle of July, HIS students participated in a six-week summer program that offered a different camp each week.
