Lodge Grass High School

Lodge Grass High School, operating as the Lodge Grass Schools Division and headquartered in Lodge Grass, Montana, is a U.S. local government entity and federally recognized Indian tribe that functions as a 100% prime recipient of federal education grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The school district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a recipient of formula grants and project grants under Indian education and Impact Aid programs.

Lodge Grass High School's federal award footprint consists entirely of education grants serving a primarily Native American student population in a school district where non-taxable Indian lands reduce the local tax base. The vendor has received 31 total awards since 2005, with combined dollars obligated of $27.1 million. Recent awards include a $2.32 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) project grant awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031; a $1.001489 million Impact Aid project grant awarded April 15, 2025, through September 30, 2030; a $764,592 Impact Aid project grant awarded November 16, 2023, through September 30, 2029; and recurring Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (CFDA 84.060) in annual or semi-annual cycles, most recently a formula grant awarded July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Grant funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The district uses federal grants to implement culturally-relevant curricula, instructional tools, and academic supports designed to help students meet state performance standards while building knowledge of Native American languages, cultures, and traditions.

Customer concentration is narrow and policy-driven: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 29 of 31 awards (94% coverage), with a single Department of Education award and one Department of the Army Materiel Command award representing outliers in a portfolio otherwise dominated by education grants. Award activity has been variable year-over-year (two awards in 2021, one in 2022, three in 2023, three in 2025, one in 2026), and one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor holds no parent contract vehicles, sits on no GWACs or IDIQs, and operates no subcontracting relationships; its federal engagement is limited to direct recipient status under established education grant programs.
