Crow Creek Tribal School
School in Stephan, South Dakota
Crow Creek Tribal School (CCTS) is a tribal K-12 school in Stephan, South Dakota, on the Hunkpati Sioux Reservation.[1] It is associated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE),[2][3] and covers grades K-12. As of 2021[update] it had about 600 students.[1]
The school has a dormitory facility for students in grades 7-12, including those who live in any geographic distance from the school.[4]
History
Prior to losing its gymnasium the school had about 300 students, but after the gymnasium was decommissioned enrollment declined.[5]
In 2003 the dormitory burned down. The building was not insured although the objects inside were.[6]
In Summer 2008 enrollment was 120. In 2008, multiple former employees were sentenced and/or awaiting sentencing for federal criminal charges, causing turmoil at the school. The school was scheduled to get a gymnasium in 2009.[5]
Student body
The school enrolls students from Fort Thompson and from Native American reservations in South Dakota and other states.[5]
