History
It was established in the 1960s so residents would not need to send their children to Native American boarding schools. It was named after Crazy Horse.[4] Its current building was established circa 1975.[2]
In 2005 the tribal council suspended the operation of the school board. At the time there were residents championing the dissolution of the school board.[5]
In 2015 it had 334 students.[2]
In 2016 it got a suicide prevention grant.[6]
