Blackwater Community School, located on the Gila River Indian Community in Coolidge, AZ, is a school that has been serving the community since 1939. With a focus on quality education, the school celebrates the heritage of the Akimel O'Otham and Pee Posh tribes, who trace their ancestry back to the Hohokam Indians. The school operates as a hybrid, with Bureau of Indian Education funding for grades Kindergarten through 5th grade, and additional educational funding provided by Akimel O'Otham Pee Posh Charter for non-isep eligible children. The school's vision is exemplified by its commitment to traditional language and culture, making it a hub of the community.
Blackwater Community School recently completed a new school construction project, funded by the Bureau of Indian Education and the Community Counsel. The project achieved LEED Silver certification, showcasing the school's commitment to sustainability. With a majority of enrolled students being Native American from the local Gila River Indian Community, Blackwater Community School continues to provide a quality education that honors the rich history and traditions of the Akimel O'Otham and Pee Posh tribes.
