It’s been about a month since the new school year has started for campuses across Lincoln and Minnehaha counties, and we hope that’s allowed students time to adjust to new schedules, become familiar with extra-curricular activities, reconnect with friends and find new faces.
We also hope that time has allowed high school principals, teachers and staff the chance to become more acquainted with their grade levels as those new or familiar faces have rolled in each day.
That’s because it’s time for us to start celebrating some of those hard-working and talented students by relaunching our Student of the Week feature for the 2024-2025 school year.

The nominations are sent in by area principals and superintendents. We collect them, and then share them for a short voting period between Monday mornings through 5 p.m. Thursday evenings, when the poll closes.
Come Fridays, you’ll see who the winner is, and we get to highlight their accomplishments online, and then in print for the weekends.
