Welcome to the Tea Area School District

We serve 2546 students grounded in our mission “To educate and empower each student for success in a global society.” We are committed to being a model continuous improvement school measuring our growth in our school board’s strategic plan’s pillars: Student Achievement, Community, Engaged Titans, and Finance and Growth Management. Our faculty and staff identified our Standards of Excellence: Teamwork, Communication, Accountability, and Innovation. As a team, we are committed to celebrating and recognizing these standards while holding each other accountable.

Jennifer N Lowery Superintendent of Schools

The Tea Area School District was established in July 2003. A community of volunteers built the District with their own two hands and hearts. The community’s army of volunteers cleaned and furnished existing structures while building modular classrooms in an open lot. Nearly twenty years later, Tea Area is one of the fastestgrowing school districts in the state and region, with average growth greater than five percent. In May 2004, Tea Area’s graduating class was 11 students. In 2012, the graduating class was 65 students. In 2025, we will graduate 170 students; our current freshman class is 200. Tea Area School District is located in Lincoln and Minnehaha counties just southwest of Sioux Falls.

We are proud to be the Tea Area Titans as our district boundaries stretch from southwest Sioux Falls through the City of Tea and south of the City of Tea.

Pride runs deep in our schools, state, and country, not only with our faculty and staff but also with our students. We recognize the importance of our partnership with families and the community as we build trust with each other and care for tomorrow’s leaders. Together, we educate and empower.

Tea Area is a great place to raise your family. We are a Titan community, and we have great opportunities in fine arts, activities, and, most importantly, academics.

Together we are writing our legacy.

Thank you for being a Titan!

Jenn Dr. Jennifer Nebelsick Lowery Superintendent of Tea Area School District

Superintendent Narrative 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.

Strategic Plan 2026

Standards of Excellence

In 2020, Titan faculty and staff joined the school board to develop our Standards of Excellence outlining and defining our values. We celebrate our people who live out our values 2 and we utilize them as our core guidance for evaluation.
