Why a Quality Red Cloud Education Actually Starts on a Bus

“The realities are different on the reservation. Some of our families don’t have the means to keep their cars running or to keep up with the cost of gas. So a Red Cloud education actually starts with getting our students here on the buses—ready to learn and grow in our classrooms.”
    - Ted Hamilton, Superintendent

Added up, they drive more than 1000 miles every day to deliver our 600 Lakota students to their classrooms. Imagine traveling those long distances in some of the nation’s most extreme weather, and you'll understand why providing safe, efficient transportation is one of Red Cloud’s greatest challenges—and most critical priorities.
