Junior girls had a blast at the jump rope station, while the junior boys did relay. A successful field day in the books!



To end the school year, 7th graders created solar system models.






To wrap up the school year, the 8th graders created egg drop contraptions to withstand a 15 foot drop. Students were given a budget model and an unlimited model. Multiple students found success with both the limited and unlimited one!










The academic achievements of the best and brightest students of the Class of 2025 were recognized recently at the 35th Annual Academic Excellence Recognition luncheon in Pierre. Governor Larry Rhoden and the Associated School Boards of South Dakota (ASBSD) honored students who were identified as the top one percent of their senior class. Congrats to Abby Davis for earning this award for PHS.
