Welcome to SBHS!
Sturgis Brown High School is the home of the Scoopers! Many people ask where we arrived at this name for our mascot, here is a brief history: Scooper was derived from the nickname given to Sturgis by the cavalrymen stationed at Fort Meade in the late 1800s. Cavalrymen, who claimed they were "scooped" every payday by the merchants of Sturgis, began to refer to Sturgis as Scooptown. Merchants didn't mind the nickname. They claimed that the cavalrymen spent so much money in Sturgis that it could be "scooped" from the streets. Scoopers was later adopted by Sturgis High School as its official team name, and in 1987, Scooper Sam became the official mascot.

Dual Credit
What is Dual Credit?
"High School Dual Credit courses give qualified high school students an opportunity to enroll in public universities in South Dakota to earn credits for both their high school diploma and college degree.
When taking dual credit courses in South Dakota, not only are you earning high school and college credits—you’re saving time and money in the process. Through the High School Dual Credit Program, students only pay 1/3 of the total cost per credit hour if they meet the System General Education requirements at all six regental institutions."
