SCHOOL BACKGROUND

Keheewin School opened in September, 1981.  The projected student population for the 2009 - 2010 school term is 368 students.

The name of Chief Keheewin of the Cree Indian Band, who lived in the Kaskitayo area, was chosen for the school.  The Chief was named after the “Eagle” (Kehew in Cree).  As a young man he distinguished himself for his bravery in the many fights with the Blackfoot and became chief early in life.  He died in 1887 at Onion Lake, Saskatchewan.
