Now Hiring: Technology Director (aka Chief Nerd Wrangler) 🚨
Location: Meade School District 46-1
Department: IT
Reports to: Humans. Mostly. Occasionally printers.
Salary: Enough to keep your home Wi-Fi fast and your coffee habit strong.
💻 Job Summary:
Do you speak fluent Wi-Fi? Can you reboot a router with your mind? Do you consider "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" a sacred mantra? If so, you might be our next Technology Director!
We’re looking for a fearless digital wizard to lead our school's tech department into the 22nd century (we like to plan ahead). You’ll oversee everything from networks and devices to software and mildly panicked teachers. Bonus points if you can do it with a smile and only mild sarcasm.
🧠 Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to):
Decoding cryptic help desk tickets like “The thingy isn’t working.”
Preventing the Wi-Fi from going down during state testing. Or assemblies. Or ever.
Managing the IT team like a tech overlord.
Rolling out software updates without starting a revolution.
Explaining "the cloud" for the 387th time.
Fending off malware, phishing attacks, and rogue USB drives.
🛑 Apply If:
You believe “Ctrl + Alt + Delete” is a lifestyle.
You think of school servers as your children.
You can laugh while fixing things that should never have been broken.
You want to make a real impact on students, teachers, and the future of learning—with a keyboard in one hand and a backup plan in the other.

Congratulations to the Debate team for their State Championship performance at the State Tournament at Brookings High School on March 7 and 8. Earlier this winter the debate team won the Small Schools Sweepstakes award at the Hole in the Wall Regional Qualifier in Cheyenne, WY. Five students qualified to the National Tournament in Iowa later in June. The debate team is coached by Eric Johnson and assisted by Tamara Voight.
Eric Johnson has been a major factor in the development and success of the debate team over the years. He has dedicated a great deal of time and energy into the program, and which is evident by how the program has flourished. Coach Johnson is retiring from coaching debate at the end of this year and would like to recognize him for all his hard work over the years. It is truly fitting that he end his coaching career with a State Championship performance.
The Meade School District 46-1 will have a two hour late start on Friday, March 7,2025. Busses will be running two hours later than normal.
Yesterday, Meade Schools celebrated the SPREAD THE WORD theme for 2025 "WORDS AFFECT ATTITUDES, ATTITUDES IMPACT ACTIONS" .
Students signed banners and took the pledge to include everyone and discussed what inclusion truly means.
