UHN Youth Initiatives
The United Houma Nation Education Department provides multiple opportunities throughout the year for youth to engage in educational, cultural, and community-based activities. These opportunities are designed to support youth learning, strengthen intergenerational relationships, and encourage active participation in community life.
Upcoming opportunities include intergenerational community garden work days, where youth will learn alongside elders and community members while supporting land stewardship, food sovereignty, and environmental responsibility. The Education Department will also offer open beekeeping trainings, providing hands-on educational experiences focused on pollinator health, sustainability, and ecological awareness.
Additionally, youth will have the opportunity to participate in a United Houma Nation Powwow youth engagement series, which will include introductions to powwow dancing, cultural etiquette, and potential volunteer opportunities. These sessions will be offered in a hybrid format, with both in-person and Zoom options available to ensure broader accessibility.
Students and families who wish to receive updates about current and upcoming youth engagement opportunities are encouraged to join the outreach list by completing the interest Google Form linked HERE.
Quarterly Honor Roll Recognition
Celebrate Our Honor Roll Students!
We love celebrating the hard work and academic success of our United Houma Nation students! Parents and guardians are invited to submit the names of enrolled UHN tribal member students who have earned A or A-B Honor Roll for the quarter.
Honor Roll recognitions are posted after report cards are released for each nine-week grading period. Because schools and school districts do not share student information with outside organizations due to privacy and safety protections, submissions must be made directly by parents or guardians.
To have your student recognized, please submit their name directly to the Education Coordinator, Jamie Dardar, at [email protected], or click the link HERE to complete the Google Form.

To ensure your student is recognized, please include the following information when submitting:
