Help Shape the Look of Stanley County Schools!

Students, parents, staff members, alumni, and community members: we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Parkview Auditorium and the High School are among the first landmarks that welcome you to our community. These buildings have been the backdrop for generations of memories: from games and concerts to graduations and community events.

As part of the Buffalo Legacy Campaign, we are exploring options to update the exterior appearance of these buildings, and we want your input!

Please take a few minutes to complete a brief survey about the proposed designs. Your feedback will help guide future decisions and ensure these buildings continue to reflect the pride, character, and values of Stanley County and Fort Pierre.

🔗 Survey Link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/StanleyCounty

Thank you for helping us shape the future of Stanley County Schools!

In culmination of a unit on electricity and magnetism, the fifth graders successfully finished their working motors this week.

These students have heard Mrs. Maher talking about “productive struggle” since 3rd grade. It’s exciting to see now how they positively take on challenges and are able to troubleshoot to find solutions.
