The Eureka School District, an equal opportunity employer, is looking for a full-time bus driver. This position is for the morning and afternoon bus routes.

Start date is the first day of school on August 20th. If interested, please contact Nick Weismantel at 605-284-2875. Applications are due on Friday, July 18th.

The North Central Thunder Girls Basketball Camp is coming up! It will be held Tuesday-Thursday, July 8-10, from 9-11am in Eureka for grades 3-8! This camp is put on by the high school girls basketball team and is a great way to build your skills and knowledge of the game! If you haven't registered, you can still attend! All campers are asked to bring a water bottle and gym shoes as the floors have been freshly waxed and we do not want any street shoes on them. If you have questions, please email Coach Vander Vorst at kaci.vandervorst@k12.sd.us. Go Thunder!

Good afternoon. We hope everyone is having a great summer so far. We have received some calls about sports schedules and have decided to add a section for sports schedules on our website at https://www.eureka.k12.sd.us/documents/2025---2026-sports-schedules/824961. This is under the 2025 - 2026 Sports Schedules section in the documents. Reminder that these schedules often get changed for unexpected reasons, but they should be a good start for those interested. Thank you.

Today is the final day we will be accepting early registrations for the Girls Thunder Basketball Camp for grades 3-8! T-shirts are only guaranteed for early registrations. Late registrations will be accepted, but just won't receive a t-shirt.

For questions, please contact Coach Vander Vorst.
