Great win for everyone involved in the Dig Pink Night in Parkston tonight! Parkston vs. Wagner on the court but everyone working together to raise awareness and money for a good cause is what it's all about.
Trojans won the match 3-2.
PTO Fundraiser Update! 💙
We’re only on day 2, but the Kummer family is already kicking things into gear!
Remember — our top-selling family will get to donate 10% of our overall funds to a local organization of their choice! What an awesome way to give back while supporting our school!
If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time — families and even individual students can participate!
Every dollar raised through PTO directly supports all students — from funding Missoula Children’s Theatre, books at Christmas, and after prom, to playground improvements, scholarships, and teacher grants.
There isn’t a single student who doesn’t benefit from PTO support — so let’s keep these great programs going strong!
💙 Prefer not to donate online? No problem! You can drop donations off in the elementary office or mail them to:
Parkston PTO
102C Chapman Dr.
Parkston, SD 57366
Thank you for helping us make a difference in every Trojan student’s school experience! 💙

Five HOSA members attended Scrubs Camp in Yankton today! They got to hear from professionals and perform hands-on skills in eight career spotlights: Medical Laboratory Science, Nurse Anesthesia, Dental Hygiene, Radiology, Applied Behavior Analysis, Health Sciences, Nursing, and Public Health. These opportunities are excellent ways for our students to discover future career pathways in healthcare and reflect on what interests or doesn't interest them. What a fun day!
PHS students spent the day learning and exploring the education career field at the Educators Rising Learning Expo at Dakota State University. So proud that we are "growing our own" right her in Parkston! These are our future teachers!
