CHAMBERLAIN, S.D. — Native American students will not be recognized with an honor song during this year’s commencement ceremony at Chamberlain High School in southeastern South Dakota, despite a renewed effort to add to the graduation tradition.

A South Dakota woman accused of beating a 4-year-old boy to death because he wet his pants will stand trial next February.

It's a ceremony that comes with public pride, as family, friends and sometimes total strangers celebrate together a class's success.

For the second year in a row, Chamberlain High School Students are asking the school board to incorporate a Native American honor song into this year's graduation ceremony.

Parents and students in the Chamberlain School District upset with a local board decision prohibiting a Native American honoring song during graduation ceremonies are pushing hard in the last weeks before the May 19 event for a different outcome.
