In this special episode of SUSD Spotlight, we celebrate Cherokee Elementary School’s remarkable 50-year journey with Principal Walt Chantler and former Principal Jan Howard (formerly Jan Young). They share personal stories and insights into Cherokee’s evolution, including its transformation from a K-8 school to its current form, the redevelopment of its unique campus, and its prestigious accolades like the National Blue Ribbon School award. Learn about the incredible community support, the literary landmark honoring Junie B. Jones author Barbara Park, and the school’s lasting commitment to excellence. Join us as we explore the rich history, innovations, and strong connections that make Cherokee a cornerstone of the Scottsdale Unified School District.
