In 1913, Father John Wulf began construction of the parochial school. Upon completion, the new school became a boarding school for many years. The old school was moved into town to be used as a public school. When the new school was built, the old parsonage had to be moved across the street where it was left on moving trucks for a long time until it was finally sold on auction.
As time passed,
the sisters began having trouble finding vocations. They began to
close their schools and it was usually the small town schools that were
the earliest casualties. The Parochial school in Dimock closed in
1968. however, the school did continue to operate in conjunction
with the parkston school district until 1990. in the following year, the
school was then demolished. the site is presently dimock city park.
there are, also, many other schools
near the dimock area. these include the following: parkston,
ethan, Mitchell. they all provide a very good education and offer many
extra-curricular activities for the young people in our area..
