Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to visit two South Dakota colleges last week. We visited Western Dakota Technical College in Rapid City (there is no difference between resident and non-resident tuition at WDT). We also visited Black Hills State University in Spearfish. Nebraska residents receive in-state tuition at South Dakota colleges and universities thanks to the SD Advantage program.
Congratulations to Jordyn Anderson who signed to play football at Concordia University.

Several students from HSPS participated in the annual Personal Finance Challenge, where they tackled multiple-choice rapid-fire questions within a 30-minute time frame. Our team, Hawks24, achieved an impressive ranking of number 3 in the Western Nebraska region and number 7 overall. Out of 288 teams in the High School division, including 98 in Lincoln, 91 in Omaha, and 99 in Western Nebraska, our performance stood out.
This achievement has earned our students advancement to the regional competition in Kearney on April 5th.
Members of the team include Jordyn Anderson, Gage Mintken, Hunter McDonald, and Mason Marcy.
