Shoshone-Bannock Jr./Sr. High School, often called Sho-Ban School, is a high school located in Fort Hall, Idaho. It serves students from the Fort Hall Indian Reservation. This school is special because it is run by the Shoshone-Bannock School District #537. Even though it's a school district, it doesn't cover any area in Bannock County. The state of Idaho officially recognizes it as a school district.
About Sho-Ban School
Sho-Ban School was established in 1996. It is a public school that teaches students from 6th to 12th grade. In the 2023-2024 school year, about 130 students attended the school. The school's mascot is a Headdress, and its colors are black, red, and white.
How the School is Managed
This school is unique because a Native American tribe operates it. This happens through an agreement with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). The BIE is a part of the United States government. It supports schools for Native American students. Around 2021, the BIE started directly managing the school. This change helps the school get funding directly from the BIE.
