A special congratulations to Humboldt Elementary's March Students of Character. These students received the most Trojan Tributes during the month of March for being responsible, respectful, and safe in school. Each winner will enjoy Big J's lunch with a friend to celebrate their positive choices. Pictured (L to R): Aurora Franken (3rd), Avery Johnson (4th), Ellison Eye (5th).

Last week, Mr. Jira's Intro to Information Technology class designed their own board games focused on cybersecurity. Each game was created to teach players important cybersecurity fundamentals in a fun and engaging way. Students combined creativity and tech skills to make learning interactive and exciting!

Please see the information and attached picture from one of our partners, Koch Hazard Architects. Create something amazing and meet architects who live and
work here in South Dakota! Parents, kids, and families are

STATE CHAMPIONS!!
Congratulations to the West Central boys' basketball team on winning the 2026 Class A State Basketball Tournament in Rapid City.

Congratulations to senior Will Kuhl and junior Connor Mebius on being named to the 2026 South Dakota Class A Boys' Basketball All-Tournament Team.

GO TROJANS!!

If you are planning to travel to the Class A Boys' State Basketball Tournament in Rapid City, here are a few things to think about as to plan:

1. Have you purchased your tickets online prior to arriving at the event? They will have approximately 14 ticket windows open around the facility on Thursday; however, they anticipate significant lines. Advance online purchases should help speed up entry and reduce congestion at the ticket windows.

2. Spectators will be able to move between the Ice Arena and Summit Arena throughout the tournament. When they arrive and enter the arena, they will receive a wristband that will allow them to go back and forth between the Class A and Class AA tournament games.

3. Below is the website to purchase advanced tickets:
