In this episode, Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with Kit Veit, Director of Student Success for Rapid City Area Schools. Kit shares her journey from growing up on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation to becoming a teacher, superintendent, and now a leader focused on building positive school culture.

The conversation dives into what student success really means—beyond grades and test scores—and how relationships, mental health, and community partnerships play a critical role. From attendance initiatives to career pathways, Kit highlights the programs designed to support students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Listeners will also hear personal reflections on the teachers who made a difference, the importance of curiosity in learning, and why Kit believes public schools open doors of opportunity for every child.
