2025 alumna Karalynn Leach was awarded her certificate as South Dakota & Harrisburg's very first high school paraprofessional apprenticeship completer.
Registered youth apprenticeships in the field of Education have been made possible with the support and partnership of Dakota State University & SD Department of Labor and Regulation.
Kara currently attends Augustana University where she is studying elementary education and plays volleyball. She hopes to return to HSD as an educator and coach. Check out her story and more in an upcoming edition of The Source.
Congratulations Kara!
Leia earned 1st place in not one, but TWO Challenge Tests this year — and followed it up with an impressive 2nd place on her third test!
We are beyond proud of her hard work and dedication.
