Numerous Heartland area students received recognition from their respective institutes of higher education for achievement during the fall 2025 semester. Each institution has its own requirements for recognition and calls the recognition list something different (Dean’s List, President’s List, Honor List, etc.). These area students have been recognized by South Dakota colleges or submitted their honor to the Plainsman for publication.
