What happens when your kids graduate from public school? For Holly Knox, you keep showing up.
Community advocate, nurse and parent of two former Rapid City Area Schools students Holly Knox joins Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer to talk about why supporting public education doesn’t end when your own children leave the classroom.
Holly shares what she learned while helping select the district’s Teacher of the Year, including the incredible work happening behind classroom doors and the innovation, creativity and dedication teachers bring to their students every day. The conversation also celebrates a remarkable year of recognition for RCAS staff and explores why community involvement, accurate information and understanding the “why” behind school decisions matter.
From Facebook comments and heat dismissals to Nerf football, spelling bees, chili and sweet rolls, and the teacher Holly still remembers decades later, this episode is a reminder that schools are about much more than the students sitting in classrooms today. They help shape the community all of us will share tomorrow.
As Holly puts it: “If not us, then who?”
