Connect with SDPB and your neighbors about topics that matter to South Dakotans with SDPB Spotlight.
Each month SDPB invites you to lend your perspective and experience to conversations that help us all better understand the history, issues, and events that impact South Dakota’s communities.
July: Summer School Civics Lessons
In July, SDPB Spotlight takes you to summer school. Find out what our students are learning in school civics classes, take a few SDPB civics tests, and learn how curriculum is set by school boards across the state.
August: Forest Management
South Dakota is home to over 1.2 million acres of forest land, primarily ponderosa pine in the Western Black Hills. SDPB goes deeper into The Black Hills National Forest and the tourism, timber industry, landowners and other stakeholders who depend on its health and sustainability.
In Case You Missed It - June 2021: Rodeo
In June, SDPB Spotlight took a closer look at South Dakota’s rodeo traditions. From State High School Rodeo Finals in Fort Pierre to rodeo culture throughout the state, SDPB presents rodeo’s people and places.
We want you to be part of the story.
For our July Spotlight topic, tell us something you wish you had learned when you studied American History. Leave a voicemail at
