Happy Independence Day, Tigers! 🐾 🇺🇸








Tonight, the school board had the privilege of hearing directly from students as they shared their inspiring Learner Interest Day experiences—highlighting how the day opened doors to new interests and future career possibilities. The board also received an overview of the program and its meaningful impact across the District. We are deeply grateful to the many business and community partners whose support brings these opportunities to life for our learners. The evening also included a special moment of recognition, as Christina Berger was celebrated for being named a Regional Teacher of the Year in South Dakota. We are #TigerProud! 🐾
