We’re proud to celebrate Oneida Nation School’s 93% graduation rate for 2025! 🎓 This achievement reflects the individualized support and multiple academic pathways offered to each student. High School Principal and Athletic Director Artley Skenandore explains:

“When students enroll at the Oneida Nation School, we ask the individual student what their goal is? Beyond the obvious response of graduation, we encourage them to look further and consider what their interests might be in college or a career. We remind them that our job is to facilitate a learning path that will assist them in attaining their goal. We see every student as a unique individual.”

Good news! Congress has reauthorized Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) funding at $200 million for fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of $41 million above the previous year. Congress has also provided $50 million for the first three months of FY 2027, extending authorization through December 31, 2026.

The IHS will also award administrative supplements to the current 310 SDPI grant recipients for calendar year 2026. These will be 25% of each recipient's annual grant award amount and will be distributed in the next few weeks. These efforts reflect the continued recognition of the significant impact that SDPI has had in improving diabetes prevention and treatment outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

The IHS is planning to conduct Tribal consultation and urban confer regarding the use of additional SDPI funds. We remain committed to supporting efforts to address diabetes-related health disparities in Indian Country.
