Sometime during the power outage the spa at the HCAC sprung a leak in one of the pipes located underneath the spa. The spa will be closed until we can get this issue resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
From the Hardin Middle School Indigenous:
Thank you to everyone who came and participated in the Spring Pow wow 2025.
Parents and families who put in the hard work and creativity for your kids.
All regular route buses will run at 1pm. No 5pm or 6pm activity buses.
Due to power outages and weather the HCAC will be closed for the remainder of the day to ensure safety of staff and customers. Thank you! Members will not be charged today.
Due to power outages we will be releasing early. All students will have a 1:00pm release. Sorry for any inconvenience.

In preparation for the upcoming Bison Harvest, our Indian Education for All team partnered with Farm to School to host a special guest speaker. We were honored to welcome Les Left Hand from the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council (RMTLC) into several high school classrooms this week. Mr. Left Hand delivered an engaging presentation on the significance of the Bison. He shared traditional knowledge about the many uses of the Bison, including its role in providing food, clothing, tools, and shelter.
A huge thank you to Les Left Hand and RMTLC for enriching our learning with real-world connections and Indigenous perspectives and thank you to teachers Mr. Jonathan Stands, Mrs. Amy Stops, and Mr. Kaldahl for creating space for this meaningful learning opportunity. Our students walked away with a richer understanding of the Bison’s role in Tribal history and culture. Ahóoh
