Congratulations to our Girls Wrestling Team!

This pas weekend 2 wrestlers qualified for State! Hadley Digmann earned 2nd place finish, Alycia Stainbrook brought home 3rd place at regions, and Eli Kalnbach placed 5th, making her an alternate for the state meet — amazing accomplishments!

As a team, the girls finished 9th out of 20 teams!
Congratulations, girls — we are cheering you on and wishing you the very best next week! 💪🤼‍♀️

Tonight's double header will be streamed on the TDA Nighthawks youtube channel.

Sorry for any confusion in the previous message. The game will be played at the Corn Palace, but it is considered a “Home” game, so our passes will still be accepted.

Tomorrow night is Ethan’s Home Game for this year. Athletic passes that you have purchased will be accepted. If you do not have your pass available on your email or phone, please contact mary.beyer@k12.sd.us.

Get ready! 🤼‍♀️🔥

February is delegated as CTE Month! Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month is a time to celebrate how hands-on learning helps students build real-world skills for college, careers, and life.

During CTE Month, we recognize the value of learning by doing and highlight how CTE helps prepare students for in-demand careers while connecting classroom learning to the real world.
