Surrey High School

What Surrey High School does

Surrey Public School District #41 is a public K-12 school district organized under North Dakota state law, operating from a single campus at 200 2nd ST SE in Surrey, ND. The district serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade residing in Ward and McHenry Counties and is governed by a five-member elected School Board (President Daniel Tyler, Vice President Amber Thiesen, plus Lea Atterton, David Carlton, and Tim Magnuson) with Superintendent Steven Bucks leading day-to-day operations. Educational leadership comprises Elementary Principal Tarra Hysjulien and Secondary Principal Kay Mayer, supported by counseling staff including Rachael Ritzke (Section 504 Coordinator).

The district's core product is a comprehensive K-12 public education program covering core academics, athletics (football, volleyball, basketball), enrichment programs (monthly Enrichment and Intervention Fridays), and student support services (Title I, Title IX, Section 504, English Learner programs, free/reduced lunch, Summer EBT, and Backpack Buddies weekend food bags). Auxiliary programs include a student-run Mustang Market retail store, annual yearbook production, and a Counselor's Corner resource hub. The underlying technology stack is standard K-12 administrative infrastructure: Microsoft Office 365, ClassLink, ArbiterSports for athletic scheduling, MyConferenceTime for parent-teacher conferences, Treering for yearbook sales, Jostens for spirit apparel, and the Infinite Campus student information system (replacing PowerSchool as North Dakota's mandated statewide SIS, with parent portal activation rolling out August 2025/2026). A December 2024 PowerSchool cybersecurity incident triggered security protocol changes and an NDIT coordination effort.

As a government entity, Surrey Public School District #41 does not generate commercial revenue. Operations are funded through local property taxes, state education funding, and federal grants. The only user-facing fee disclosed is a $50 yearbook purchase through Treering. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The district has proposed a $5,800,000 general obligation bond for a 2026 election to fund a classroom addition replacing portable classrooms and addressing fire code issues.
