The Tea Area School District began a comprehensive shift in 2019. To advance the strategic plan, the district adopted Improvement Science principles. The updated strategic plan was created by multiple stakeholders (community members, business and parent groups, faculty and staff, board members, and administrators) engaging in a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis. The qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed, resulting in the board-approved strategic plan pillars, defined focus areas, and Standards of Excellence (values).
A team of 18 employees and two board members spearheaded the development of Tea Area’s Standards of Excellence. Their peers identified the Standards of Excellence committee members as outstanding individuals who exemplify what we want to be as Titans. This group gathered qualitative feedback from every department in the district on what mattered to our employees. We asked our people to share what we look and act like when we are best. The School Board adopted the Standards of Excellence after multiple iterations and feedback cycles. We have consistently celebrated our employees based on these standards on a weekly basis since their adoption
Adopting board policy, ADA Continuous School Improvement, formalized the board's commitment to how we operate at Tea Area. This policy clearly articulates the board's vision and expectations for the culture at Tea Area. From pillars to a living plan, the employees, led by their administrator or director, create, adapt, and operationalize the work through their strategic targets. The targets are measured by their scoreboards, which align directly with the Superintendent’s scoreboard. The scoreboard’s scale and resulting rating clearly outline the goals set by the administrative team and approved by the board annually.
Annual reports and processes are hardwired within the system, ensuring Tea Area’s strategic plan is a living process as we pursue excellence and live our mission to Educate and Empower.

We celebrate as a community of learners every Monday morning during Rise and Shine. All students and staff come together to recognize perfect attendance, honor birthdays, recognize Titan Heroes, and commit to learning with our weekly affirmation:
I am Somebody
I was Somebody When I Came; I’ll be a Better Somebody When I Leave
I am Powerful and I am Strong; I Deserve the Education I Get Here.
I Have Things to Do, People to Impress, and Places to Go.
Our Attendance Campaign focused on our attendance goal of being Here, Every Day, Ready to Learn, On Time. We hosted special surprise welcomes to school and provided monthly attendance incentives, challenging students to “rescue” a staff member from a unique situation. The grade level with the highest attendance percentage each month was honored as our Attendance Hero. At the end of the school year, we celebrated all students who had accumulated 5 or fewer total absences.
Staff provided many extended learning opportunities by taking field trips and hosting guest speakers. These included: Lincoln County 4-H Club’s embryology unit, Senator John Thune, Southeastern Electric, Sioux Falls Fire Department, Sanford Wellness Workouts, old Courthouse Museum, Dakota Academy of Performing Arts (DAPA), among many others.
