The SDHSAA has released the football schedules for the upcoming season. It may look a little different as the athletic association didn't commit to maintaining our conference schedule, which is unfortunate.
The State has again asked that schools attempt to playing games on Saturdays or Thursdays due to the referee shortage, so look closely at the dates.
JH & JV schedule is still a work in progress, but I will send it out to you when we have completed it. The first JH/JV game will occur on August 29th. Football practice will begin on Aug. 4th.

Glad to see most of the team is out for a spring sport and/or dedicating themselves to the weight room. The young men are committed to another successful season.

The 2022 Scrubs Camp in Huron was a SUCCESS! The students were able to practice giving shots on oranges and hotdogs, practiced starting an IV on a fake arm, practiced giving stiches on bananas, used an otoscope to check ears for infections, ran a lab test, applied tourniquets, and SO much more. The different health care careers that they explored included medical assistant, paramedic/firefighter, nursing, nurse practitioner, medical laboratory science, radiology, health information management, and surgical technician. I look forward to taking a few junior and senior students again next year!
