January is School Board Recognition Month, and we want to take this opportunity to thank the dedicated members of the Richland #44 School Board for their leadership, service, and commitment to our students, staff, and community.
School board members give countless hours to decision-making, planning, and governance—often behind the scenes—to ensure our district continues to move forward in a positive direction. Their work helps shape the present and future of the Richland #44 School District.
👏 Thank you, Richland #44 School Board, for your dedication, thoughtful leadership, and continued support of Colt Country! 💙💛
We are incredibly proud to share that BOTH Richland Elementary School and Richland Jr/Sr High School have been named among the top 10% of all North Dakota public schools by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.
This recognition - based on statewide accountability metrics - reflects strong student achievement and growth, meaningful engagement, and the daily dedication of our teachers, staff, students, and leaders. It’s a direct result of focused instruction, high expectations, and a community that values education.
Thank you to our educators and support staff for the work you do every single day—and to our families and community for your continued partnership and support.
Congratulations Colt Country! 💙🐴 💛
