Centerville School District

We are thrilled to announce a special guest will be joining us this Thursday, January 8th in the Purple Gym. Nick Tokman, known as "Sunshine" as seen on Discovery Channel's 'Deadliest Catch' will be spending the afternoon with our 6-12 students and staff. He will start with a keynote speaking session at 12:45 PM and also do Q&A + autographs. His entire session will run from 12:45 to 3:20 PM. All community members are welcome to attend his session as well! We would love for you to join us! Nick speaks nationally on topics such as:
* Dealing with negative influences & peer pressure
* Removing distractions & staying focused on life goals
* Overcoming adversity & leveraging failure for success
* Making better decisions for themselves

A note from Nick..."Just wanted to reach out and say hi Centerville. Wishing you all Happy Holidays, New Year & looking forward to seeing you all soon"  #muchlove #becomeyourcaptain #ntsunshine out 😎

Exciting news of an extraordinary academic milestone for CHS freshman student Lamoine Barcklay. On the Spring 2025 South Dakota Science Assessment, he earned a PERFECT SCORE! Achieving this score is a rare and outstanding accomplishment. Lamoine is one of just 51 students statewide to achieve this honor. These students are among the top performers in the state, and represent a very small percentage of students each year. His performance exemplifies high standards and highlights his work ethic as well as his academic talent! Congratulations Lamoine!
