Good afternoon. Due to weather next week Monday, the region golf tournament has been postponed to Tuesday, May 19th in Pierre. Due to this schedule change, we are moving the concert, awards night, and senior night to Monday, May 18th starting with the concert at 6:30 PM, followed by the awards ceremony at 7:30 PM, with Senior Night to follow on Monday. In addition, the semester test schedule that was supposed to happen on Tuesday, will now happen on Monday, so if you were needing to take a semester test on Tuesday, that will now happen on Monday. This also means that all students in grades 7-12 need to be at school by 12:30 on Monday for the afternoon rehearsals, computer check-ins, and class meetings. We will send out an updated semester test schedule tomorrow. Lastly, the track meet that is scheduled for Warner on Monday has been postponed until Wednesday. We appreciate your flexibility as these decisions are being made requiring us to change our schedule accordingly. Thank you.
SEVEN more Thunder Track and Field records have been broken this season! Athletes be proud of your accomplishments because we are proud of you!

The North Central Thunder track and field teams delivered strong performances at the Lake Region Conference Meet in Ipswich on Tuesday, May 12.
The middle school girls team captured the conference championship, while the middle school boys earned a 4th-place finish in a competitive 9-team field.
At the varsity level, the boys team finished an impressive 2nd place — missing the team title by just half a point — and the girls team secured a strong 3rd-place finish overall.
We also had two more Thunder records broken! Congrats Donovan (long jump) and Carleigh (javelin)!

Good afternoon. Tomorrow morning around 10:30-11:00, we will be having the heating system disconnected so we can start the process of going from coal to propane for our heating source. This will mean for the remainder of the school year we will not have heat. Please dress your children accordingly. With the current forecast, we are confident that the building will be warm. If something were to change, we will make announcements as necessary. Thank you.

The Thunder track and field athletes once again had an outstanding showing at the Eureka Legion Meet on Saturday, May 2nd.

The Thunder racked up 50 place finishers , 22 PRs, and another Thunder record was rebroke! Go Thunder!






Good evening. Due to the weather forecast on Tuesday, we are postponing the Eureka Lions Track meet to Thursday, May 7th with a tentative start time at 12:00 PM. This meet will become a HS/MS meet so our middle school team will compete in Eureka on Thursday, and not in Onida. Thank you!

Good afternoon. We our hosting a couple of track meets in Eureka in the near future. One on Saturday, May 2nd, and one on Tuesday, May 5th. Hosting track meets requires many workers and volunteers. If anyone is interesting in volunteering to help run field events, measure events, or even just haul a javelin, discus, or shot put back and forth, we'd greatly appreciate any and all volunteers who would like to help. If interested, please get a hold of Nick Weismantel at 284-2875. Thank you!
