TAHLEQUAH, OK - Nathan Stanley, a senior at Sequoyah Schools, was named the National Quarterback of the Year at the annual Offense/Defense All-American Bowl awards ceremony in Miami, Florida. “I’m very excited,” Stanley said. “It’s a great opportunity.” “Nathan is a great kid and an outstanding quarterback,” said Brent Scott, Sequoyah head football coach. “He’s the total package, just what you want in a player.” Stanley will play in the Offense/Defense All-American Bowl broadcast live on Fox College Sports Network. Sequoyah Schools, a boarding school for Native American students, is regionally and state accredited for grades 7-12 and has become the school of choice for more than 400 students every year. It originated in 1871 as an orphan asylum to take care of many orphans who came out of the Civil War. It has since served as the Sequoyah Orphan Training School and the Sequoyah Vocational School. Now known as Sequoyah Schools, it is named for Sequoyah, the scholar who developed the Cherokee syllabary. In November 1985, the Cherokee Nation assumed the operation of Sequoyah.
