oldSchoolBrief History of Lame Deer Schools

Information on the history of our school district has been difficult to track down.  However, Mrs. Mabel Small and Mr. George Birtic have put together the following history:

         1909    Public schooling was established in Lame Deer

  • 1940    Lame Deer School District consisted of two buildings for grades K-8. The school buildings were located in the vicinity of the parking lot of the Allen Rowland Gym. A log cabin, located where tribal forestry is housed, served as the administration building and the cafeteria.
  • 1950     A cafeteria was added in the basemane of the larger of the two school buildings.  In the mid 1950s the elementary school was built and consisted of the north and south wings, the office are, and a library. These areas are still in use today.
  • 1960    Teacher housing was built in the area where the present administration building is located. 
  • 1970     In the early 1970s the current elementary school library was used as a gym, cafeteria and auditorium.  The superintendent served as school principal.  It wasn’t until the mid 1970s, as the school population grew, that a principal for the school was hired.  During this time the east wing was added on to the elementary buildings.  In the late 1970s a new cafeteria was built.

  • 1980    In 1984 the Allen Rowland Gymnasium and classrooms were finished and put to use and the Lame Deer Junior High School.  The project was funded through the Coal Board.
  • 1990    After much lobbying and hard work, the Lame Deer High School was established in 1995. The new high school was housed in temporary modular buildings while the new high school building was constructed.
     2000    January – The new high school building was opened and grades 9-12 held their classes in their new school.  Grades 6-8 moved into the modular buildings the high school students had used while their new building was completed. jrHigh
  • 2000-03    A new modular structure was constructed for the The Lame Deer Alternative Learning Center.  A new conference room was used for school board meetings.  It is still used for school board meetings.
  • 2004    The former Lame Deer Alternative Learning Center was used to host the Lame Deer Parent Center and the Technology Department.
  • 2005    The modular buildings that housed the Lame Deer Junior High School were closed due to mold infestation and the 7-8 grades were moved to the new high school building. Grade 6 returned to the elementary school.
  • 2006    After the removal of the old Junior High School Buildings and a cleanup of the mold, a fuel station for district vehicles was built in the same location.  
  • 2007    Three new classrooms are added to the high school building to accommodate the junior high school students.
  • 2009    Construction began on the location of the old junior high school  for a new building house school buses. 
  • Lame Deer Schools continue to grow to meet the educational needs of the students of Lame Deer and the surrounding districts.

tech_bldg  Technology Building

It is part of our department’s job to ensure that our district complies with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). This is an act of Congress that tries to ensure that children are not exposed to inappropriate materials or placed in harm’s way because of what they see or do while using the Internet.   Schools and public libraries which do not follow the guidelines of the act may lose government funding of computers and Internet access. 
Our department has adopted 3 ways of trying to protect our students. First we have adopted an Internet Acceptable Use Policy This policy lays basic guidelines stating that the computers are supplied for academic use by students.  If students or staff fail to follow the guidelines of the policy, they may lose access to the Internet.  This could make it more difficult to complete assignments, but it will ensure that students are not abusing their computer use at school.

The second thing we have done is to install an Internet Filter which blocks offensive sites, social networking sites like My Space or Facebook, and games and gambling sites among others.  While some of these sites seem harmless, they do little to contribute to a student’s academic progress and have been shown to sometimes place a child in harm’s way. It is not possible to block everything and still allow access to websites needed for school assignments, therefore the ultimate Internet Filter must be the computer user.  Some of our students have discovered ways to avoid the Internet Filter and access unacceptable websites.  This can be compared to breaking into a locked house.   It can be done, but it is wrong.  These students will also loose Internet Access. 

The third way we try to protect our staff and students is to issue individual computer accounts and passwords to allow the computer user to have a secure place to store their work.  Our Acceptable Use Policy states that sharing accounts and passwords is not allowed.  A computer account is not the user’s personal property and it cannot be given away or shared.  It is the responsibility of each user to keep his or her account secure.
