Our district is located in Garretson, South Dakota, and our students come from Garretson, Sherman, and rural areas of Minnehaha County as well as Rock and Pipestone Counties in Minnesota. We offer small class sizes, an outstanding academic curriculum, and ​a variety of special programs and services to meet the needs of every student who enters our hallways.
 
As you browse this website to learn more about our district, we invite you to take advantage of some of the great tools and information available. Stay current with the latest newsletters, keep track of school events, or find out about employment opportunities.
