Julie Downwind, Principal
Boozhoo! I am honored to serve as American Indian Magnet School's principal for my second year. I am an enrolled member of the Keweenaw Bay Ojibwe Community. I have two grown children who were once students at American Indian Magnet School.
I commit to helping students be successful in school while developing as people, encouraging students to pursue their aspirations, and ensuring all students learn about Indigenous people accurately highlighting resiliency.
There will be many opportunities to be involved in school activities this year. I look forward to seeing you in our newly renovated building.
We have a new writing curriculum this year We also continue to focus on the science of reading and mathematics. We continue to build Ojibwe and L/Dakota language and culture integration. We also have specialists teaching gym, visual arts, science, libary/media, and theater/dance/creative movement.
Please contact me if you have any questions, celebrations, or concerns.
