CHICKASAW PRIDE
YOU are now a CHICKASAW with Chickasaw FRIENDS, and are part of our Chickasaw COMMUNITY. We have Chickasaw RULES, and a Chickasaw WAY of doing things. So when it comes time to make a DECISION, ask yourself, "What would a Chickasaw do?" So put on your best Chickasaw SMILE, because every day is a GREAT day at BES to be a CHICKASAW!
