Welcome to the Spearfish School District website. Our district's mission statement, "Empowering All Students to Succeed in a Changing World," is a goal we take very seriously. The Spearfish School District provides quality programs for all ranges of academic learners. The Spearfish School District is a positive, productive learning institution with a history of high expectations and student success. Our staff is experienced, talented, and dedicated to the success of our students. The school system and community place a high value on the education of our youth, and that expectation serves as a catalyst for student success in a rigorous learning environment.
Located in the Northern Black Hills, Spearfish represents one of the most broad-based economies in western South Dakota. With roots in education, health care, tourism, mining and timber, the economy has grown and diversified substantially. Abundant natural resources, a well-educated workforce, access to major transportation routes makes it an ideal location for people to live, work, and play.
