Welcome From the Chief

"Several years ago, the Choctaw Nation began the STAR Program with the goal of motivating our Choctaw Students to reach their educational goals. After just two years, it is evident that this program is having a positive impact. Since the inception of the program in 2007, the STAR Program has grown tremendously, originally starting in the 10 1/2 county service area of southeastern Oklahoma, it now has students participating in 560 school sites across the state. Because of the unprecedented popularity of this program, we have decided to offer the benefits of the STAR Program to all eligible Choctaw students attending an accredited school anywhere nationwide. I am convinced that this program will continue to encourage the academic success of Choctaws by providing students with an incentive to strive for the highest possible level of achievement. This has been an exciting addition to the education services that the Choctaw Nation offers the youth of our tribe."

--Chief Gregory E. Pyle, Chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

Policy Change - Due to the national growth of the STAR program we no longer feel that recognizing Honors classes at a higher letter grade (C's as B's and B's as A's) is a fair standard for all students.  Beginning with the Spring '12 semester, we will be awarding students solely from the grade listed on the report card.  We apologize for the negative impact this may cause to some students, but feel it is necessary for the best interest of the program and the students as a whole.
