In the fall of 2024, SCHS is updating our membership program to better serve you. We will be adding a new $15 Non-Resident level for those outside of Steele County who want to stay informed about the organization's activities. The organization will also be moving away from the Settler and Trailblazer levels and will be renaming the Pioneer membership. SCHS is also adding a new level, Sponsor, for those who would like to support a program, event, or building.
