Cheyenne-Eagle Butte School

The Cheyenne-Eagle Butte School, also known as Eagle Butte School District 20-1,[1] is a school district with its head office in North Eagle Butte, an unincorporated Dewey County, South Dakota, United States.[2][3] The district covers sections of Dewey County and Ziebach County.[4] The district covers the City of Eagle Butte and the North Eagle Butte CDP.[2][5] The school and the community lie within the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation.

School uniforms

The school district adopted school uniforms for students in Kindergarten and grades 7-8 for fall 2009.[6] The Cheyenne River Sioux tribe filed a lawsuit against the school district, saying that the code, announced shortly before the start of classes, forced inconvenience on tribal members.[7]
