Elder Program
Our elders are at the heart of everything we do at Henry Coaster Memorial School. Their wisdom, teachings, and presence enrich our students' learning every day.
The Elder Program at HCMS ensures that our students remain connected to their cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. Through regular interactions with community elders, students learn the values, stories, and skills that have been passed down through generations.
