History

In the 1970s the principal, Robert Schumacher, started a radio station called KRSS.^[6]

In 1995 the school had 256 students.^[7]

In 2004 the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the parent agency of what became the BIE, investigated the special education program after parents made complaints.^[8]

In April 2020, Kirsten Baesler, the state superintendent of education, approved the school having a four-day week instead of a five day.^[9]

The homecoming celebration uses Hidatsa traditions and, as of 1995, promotes abstaining from drugs and alcohol.^[7]
