Ches Kwin

The “Ches Kwin” Club is student organization that started over 35 years ago at Ferndale High. Horizon and Vista middle schools offer student clubs that include culture and leadership activities.

“Ches Kwin” stands for Golden Eagle in Xwlemi’ Chosen and Golden Eagle is the mascot of Ferndale High.

Members continue the mission of the original founders by traveling to different schools to speak or dance at cultural assemblies. Students also go into social study and language classes to speak on the Washington State history from the American Indian perspective. We are an active club willing to do community service and fundraise for special events. The club has participated in Ferndale High's graduation ceremony for the past 16 years. Its appointed officers drive the leadership of the club.
