Lyman School District

Some of our high school students were kind enough to work with the fifth graders on some state testing prep! They worked through a practice test together and made sure the kids understood how to navigate and use the tools. All the while, enjoying the beautiful weather! It's a great day to be a Raider!

Celebrate with us this Thursday!!

Congratulations to our students of the week!!! Way to go, kids!

Middle School and High School ACE Award recipients! Congrats, kiddos!

🎉 Lyman JAG Shines at State CDC! 🎉 Yesterday our Lyman JAG students traveled to Augustana University in Sioux Falls to compete at the JAG State Career Development Conference, and they represented our school incredibly well! We are so proud of the hard work, preparation, and professionalism these students demonstrated throughout the competition.
