Dr. Tom Jackson Jr.
Black Hills State University with the Spearfish and northern hills community, when we are working together, we make for a very vibrant, eclectic, dynamic, organic community that really can do anything it wants to do. One of the best attributes about the Spearfish northern hills community is that our students really like being here. Our students find a home when they come to this community.
Dana Boke
Spearfish is a place that captures your heart. The students at Black Hills State really add to the vibrancy of our community. They bring not only athletics and theater, and all of the arts to our community, but they really make Spearfish a more vital and complex community.
Dr. Tom Jackson Jr.
What amazes me most is Spearfish has been recognized twice nationally for being in the top ten of livable cities in the United States. Where else can you have such an experience and marry that so nicely with Black Hills State University and the Spearfish community.
