Our school is named for Sequoyah, a Cherokee warrior. Sequoyah is known as the person who developed the Cherokee alphabet. Using a phonetic system in which each sound made in speech was represented by a symbol, he created the "Talking Leaves," 85 letters that make up the Cherokee syllabary. He later added another symbol, making the total 86. A short time later in a Cherokee Court in Chattanooga, Sequoyah read an argument about a boundary line from a sheet of paper. Word spread quickly of Sequoyah's invention. In 1821, 12 years after his original idea, the Cherokee Nation adopted Sequoyah's alphabet as their own. Within months, thousands of Cherokee Indians became literate.
