The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $171,186 to Phoenix Union High School District on July 1, 2026, under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060).

The award funds activities addressing the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Indian students, ensuring they meet challenging state performance standards and gain knowledge of Native communities, languages, Tribal histories, traditions, and cultures. The funding also supports professional development for teachers, principals, school leaders, and other staff to provide culturally appropriate and effective instruction to Indian students.

Performance runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with place of performance in Phoenix, Arizona. This is a formula grant, awarded annually directly to the LEA as a principal vehicle for addressing the particular needs of Indian children. Phoenix Union High School District, serving high school students in the Phoenix metropolitan area, has received multiple prior awards under this program and related Title programs, leveraging federal funds for academic instruction, cultural programming, and targeted student support services.
