At the board meeting last night, the WEB program was highlighted as a leadership opportunity for 8th grade students that supports incoming 6th graders across the district as they transition into middle school. The program begins in the spring with 5th grade visits and continues into the fall with student-led orientation activities designed to build connections, increase comfort, and ease anxiety for new middle school students. #TigerProud 🐾
Congratulations to our boys' basketball cheerleaders for earning the Spirit of Six award at the State AA Tournament! This recognition reflects not only their leadership on the sidelines, but also the legacy behind this meaningful award. We are proud of the way these cheerleaders represent our school and honor the memory of the cheerleaders for whom this award is named.
Thank you to our basketball team, our fans, and our entire school community for the support and spirit you bring. This recognition is a shared accomplishment.
This year’s event brought together 155 elite teams from across the U.S. and around the world, including China, Kazakhstan, and South Korea. Every team earned its spot through top performances at prior competitions, making this an incredibly high-level event.
Our Harrisburg teams rose to the challenge:
🔹 7686X – Phoenix Rising (Caleb B, Connor A, Miles B, Jayden Y) advanced to the Semifinals in their division and earned the Build Award for outstanding robot design and construction.
🔹 7686A – The Islanders (Ben M, Caleb A, Parker S, Ezra D) had an incredible run—placing 3rd in Skills, winning their division, and ultimately being crowned US Open Tournament Champions!
This marks the first time in Tiger Robotics history that we’ve brought home the Tournament Champion title from the US Open.
Harrisburg High School’s FFA Freshman Food Science team presented on their preparations for the Food Science Career Development Event (CDE). Through this experience, students learn about careers in the food and agriculture industry while developing skills in teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. As part of the competition, the team created a snack product called Bloom & Dip, inspired by a Nutella-and-go-style snack. Their dip is made with sunflower butter and cocoa and highlights South Dakota commodities, including sunflowers, honey, and dairy through whey protein. We are proud of these students for representing Harrisburg FFA and exploring the science behind the foods we enjoy every day!
Amanda was one of five finalists for this prestigious recognition. As one of our Speech-Language Pathologists serving students and staff at Journey Elementary, she consistently demonstrates dedication, professionalism, and a deep commitment to student success.
