Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, the Highmore-Harrold School District will no longer offer a district preschool program. In partnership with the community, Little Pirates Childcare Center will be expanding its services to provide programming for a larger number of 3- and 4-year-old children.
Screening for Preschool, Jr. Kindergarten, and Kindergarten will still take place as scheduled on April 14 at the school. Parents of children who are 3 or 4 years of age will be asked to sign a waiver allowing screening results to be shared with Little Pirates Childcare Center so they can best serve students who enroll in their program.
Little Pirates Childcare Center plans to share more information about its expanded program in the coming days.

Exciting news for this week!

Autumn Fallis is excited to announce that she will be continuing her academic and athletic career at Dakota Wesleyan University, where she will compete in both Cross Country and Track & Field next year! Autumn has been an outstanding runner for the Pirates, earning appearances at six State Cross Country Meets and five State Track Meets.
Throughout her high school career, she has set multiple school records, including the 1600-meter run and the 3200-meter run. She was also a key member on the record-setting Medley Relay team.
Autumn’s coaches and teachers commend her dedication, leadership, and remarkable work ethic both on and off the track. We are all incredibly proud of all she has achieved as a Pirate.
We look forward to watching her grow and succeed as she takes her running talents to the next level! ❤️🖤❤️
