Andy Boots
Home School Coordinator

Andy was born on October 18, 1952, at Ohogamiut. From birth through age seven he grew up at Ohogamiut. Then they moved down here to Marshall. He went to high school at Chemawa Indian School in Chemawa, Oregon. He graduated from Chemawa when he was eighteen.

Andy has worked at the school for about twenty-one years and plans to work here until he's tired of working. He likes his job because there are a lot of challenges trying to correct poor attendance. He works mostly with the parents and the grandparents to try to do this. He became interested in his present job when he was working as a teacher aide. He figured he needed a change.

After he got his job he needed training in computers since everything is computerized today. He needed to know how to use modems and faxes and E-mail, etc. His job keeps him stimulated because of his contact with the students and parents. The best part of his job is dealing with the problems parents have with their kids. He feels he can do this well because he is also a parent of two boys. The worst thing about his job is when the kids get really stubborn and won't come to school.
