ORIGINAL STORY DECEMBER 21, 2021:
The Stanley County Middle-High School Principal has been named the South Dakota Student Council Association Ivan Dixon Administrator of the Year.
The award, from the state High School Activities Association, is given to administrators whose efforts have enhanced student activities in schools.
Information from his nomination says Cutshaw has helped transform programs such as Student Council, National Honor Society and Oral Interp. When the 2020-21 State Student Council meeting was changed to a virtual convention, he was instrumental in students “attending’ the convention and provided time to plan events for the 2021-22 school year. Cutshaw also produced officer candidate videos using his personal video equipment.
Cutshaw also helped improve communication surrounding Stanley County Homecoming activities. He welcomed meeting with students to present ideas to increase positive involvement within the student body, which resulted in the homecoming parade being held on the traditional Friday with increased involvement from the student body.
In addition, Cutshaw helps students in need with money from his own pocket, encourages the student body to be active in the decision-making within the school, helps students find internships, enroll in dual credit courses or apply for college.
