Curtis Yarlott
Isalúutshíile – “Yellow Arrows”
Executive Director, St. Labre Indian School

Curtis Yarlott joined St. Labre in 1986 as a houseparent in St. Labre's youth group homes. What began as a short-term position quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to the students and families of the Northern Cheyenne and Crow communities. Over the years, Curtis has served St. Labre in many roles, always guided by a deep belief in the potential of every child. 

Today, as Executive Director, Curtis continues to carry forward St. Labre’s mission to provide education, care and opportunity for Native American children. Inspired by the resilience and strength of the students he has worked with over the decades, he remains dedicated to helping each child build a hopeful and successful future.
