History

James Valley Christian School first opened their doors in the fall of 1956 outside of Huron, South Dakota by individuals who desired Christian education in their area. The school campus was built in the James River Valley on the same campus as Byron Bible Camp. In 1972, the original building burned down and a new building was built on the same campus. On April 6, 1997, when the dikes on the James River failed the school campus along with Bryon Bible camp flooded; water in the school reached a height of between 5 and 7 feet (1.5 and 2.1 m). [2] For the next few years, school was held in the Huron Middle School building, prior to its demolition. The school moved into the current building in August 2000. In early 2018, JVCS, broke ground on an auditorium and an auxiliary gym.
