Cherokee Heights Elementary enriches each student and embraces the many cultures of St. Paul. Students are nurtured and challenged intellectually, emotionally and physically in our Pre K-6 program. By engaging students in a challenging curriculum that includes high expectations, students develop a greater sense of purpose and are nurtured in the diverse experiences that will enrich them for life.

By embracing tradition, we uphold the seamless relationships between all members of our school community. With integrity, Cherokee Staff strives to make a difference with every child in our rich, diverse community.
