We invite parents and businesses to join our students and learn about this great opportunity for our students to continue their education after high school.

Parents of Middle and High Schoolers:
Save The Date. The HSSD plans to recognize our students earning a 4.0 GPA first quarter on Wednesday, October 29th at 6:30pm. Even though the program is short, the recognition is important to show our scholars the value of their achievement. Grades are due on October 20th with the intention of invites going out on October 21st.

Attention Middle School Parents. Participation forms for the backpack program are being sent home with your student today. If you would like for your student to participate in this program please fill it out and return it to the middle school office. If you choose not to participate nothing needs to be done.

Please take advantage of this FREE Screening Clinic for Children who may have signs of an orthopedic condition, such as toe walking, flat feet, bowed legs, curved spine, or club feet to name a few. Tuesday October 28 from 2pm-7pm in Rapid City at the Naja Shrine Center.

Happy Homecoming Week Bison Community. My window is cracked and I can hear the band out on the track practicing. Now if that is not a great sound to get this week started, I don't know what is. Let's make it a good one.

We are so blessed to have such wonderful support of our CTE programs. Mr. Dryden was pleasantly surprised by visitors "bearing gifts" for the CTE program. Pictured are Julie Red Leaf (Construction Industry Center), Brett Kaltvedt (Midwestern Mechanical), Mark Notebook (Complete Concrete Solutions), and David Wolf (Western States Fire Protection).

Last call for grades 3-12th graders interested in drum making.

The HSSD Choir has been busy serving the community with their voices at a couple different community events.
On Thurs, Sept 11, the high school choir sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Staircase Challenge to commemorate the day when the US lost so many in the World Trade Towers terrorist attack. The students were there at 6:00am and they sounded great!

At 6:00pm Thurs, Sept 11, the high school choir opened the Patriot Day Dinner program with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner as well as the Armed Forces Medley for all in attendance at the American Legion. Again, the students represented our school very well.

Thank you to our choir students and our choir director, Mrs. Vande Stroet
