Fire Prevention week! 🔥
The Onida Fire Dept. came to school today to visit with the students about fire safety! Hopefully they ask their families about changing the batteries in the smoke detectors at home! The students also got these awesome blankets! Thank you 😊 Congrats to our coloring contest winners: (1st) Kyler Stanley, (2nd) Elena Velez-Santiago, and (3rd) Johan de Witt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻






The 8th grade Social Studies class zoomed in on South Dakota and Sully County history.
The students created their own seal for the state of South Dakota based on events and topics leading to statehood. They also completed the "Talking Trail" focusing on the history of different areas around Sully County.


Last Tuesday was a BIG day as our seniors took advantage of Free College Application Period and officially started taking steps toward what their futures will look like after SBHS! 🚀
This is what it’s all about—showcasing their hard work, talents, accomplishments, and education as they begin opening doors to new opportunities. 💙
The future is bright, Seniors! Keep dreaming big, putting in the work, and taking those next steps. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see where your journey takes you! 🎓✨
