Dr. Sarah Gross presented her document, Rapid City Schools, to the Board of Education and had a wonderful display of pictures and documents to share with those attending.

A special thank you to our local Rapid City Area Schools employee, volunteer and “historian,” Dr. Sarah Gross for dedicating her time and energy to creating an amazing document with the history of our Rapid City Schools. We are so grateful for everything you’ve done and continue to do for our community.
