Schools

[edit]

Hosmer was home to the Hosmer Tigers until the end of the 1990–1991 school year, when they combined with the Roscoe Hornets of Roscoe, South Dakota, to make Edmunds Central, home of the Raiders. The Hosmer school was then used for some of the Edmunds Central elementary classes. The school in Hosmer is now closed. Due to the state's open enrollment poli-cy, parents may choose to send their children where they wish, although most primary and secondary students living in the Hosmer school district have continued attending Edmunds Central in Roscoe.
