History
Established in 1938 and built by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, ESDS is one of a handful of day schools in the nation. A transition from a 638 Grant School to a P.L. 100-297 Contract School Began in 1983. In the 1960’s & 70’s, ESDS provided education services in cooperation with Waubay Public School. Presently, ESDS is chartered by the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and operated by a local School Board.
