Hello parents and guardians:
This is an option for families that are interested in pursuing support for their child through counseling. Our local counselors are outstanding, but there are times that we may need to rely on outside counselors to help us meet our needs. Rising Hope is able to provide telehealth counseling services to our students. Please reach out to Mrs. Cutlip, Ms. Dumire, Mr. Klinkhammer, or Mr. Reynolds to discuss what time of your child's day would be the most appropriate to set up time for them to meet with a counselor during the school day, just via telehealth. The direct contact for Rising Hope Counseling LLC is 605.494.1500 or emailing admin@risinghope.com
Best of luck today to our JV and Varsity basketball teams. We welcome the Custer players, coaches, and fans to our school.

Did you know that today is the half-way mark for third quarter ALREADY? My goodness is this year cruising. Midquarter is always a great time to have conversations with your student(s) to see how they are progressing towards their goals. If there are concerns or questions, as always, please reach out to your child's teacher. That conversation now is much more productive than at the end of the quarter. Let's make today a great day!
Our seniors visited Pierre to see the legislative process in action.
It would be amazing if some of our artistic students could be recognized in this state competition.
