CONGRATULATIONS to JoEllen Salmen who is being inducted into the South Dakota Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend in Sioux Falls. JoEllen was a 1994 graduate of Hitchcock where she was a 5 year starter and during her senior year averaged 28 points per game. JoEllen is currently our Colony Title I teacher and head girls basketball coach. On behalf of the Hitchcock-Tulare School District, congratulations JoEllen on this amazing honor and accomplishment.


H-T FFA and FCCLA are collecting can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House in Sioux Falls! Help us by collecting tabs from your cans and sending them into the high school. We will collect them and send them in from there.

We discovered a printing error with some of the yearbooks this year so we are asking everyone to check the yearbook they purchased to see if it has the error. If your yearbook has printing on the inside back cover it is misprinted so please return to the Elementary school in Hitchcock and we will get it replaced with a good one. If you have questions please email Mrs. Clark at michele.clark@k12.sd.us.

We forgot to include the media form in the back to school folder so we are sending it home with students today. Please return as soon as possible. The form can also be found at,

Also, remember to return the Bus Service Agreement by Friday for those that ride our buses or school transportation on a daily basis. That form can also be found on our website under the back to school tab. Thank you.
