Education

Hot Springs has an excellent K-12 public school system plus a private elementary school. There are two universities located within an hour of Hot Springs, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to the north in Rapid City and Chadron State College to the south in Chadron, NE. The community has ties with Western Dakota Technical Institute to provide specialized technology training in a wide variety of areas and many of those programs could be provided at a satellite campus here in Hot Springs.
