The Tea Area School District, established in July 2003, was built by a dedicated community of volunteers who cleaned, furnished, and constructed classrooms. Nearly 20 years later, it is one of the fastest-growing districts in the state, with growth exceeding 5% annually. The district, located southwest of Sioux Falls, serves 2,546 students and will graduate 170 students in 2025, up from just 11 in 2004.

    The City of Tea is actively developing new areas to accommodate our growing population. Tea City Park offers a variety of amenities, including a swimming pool with a waterslide, basketball courts, playgrounds, a picnic shelter, a fishing pond with fountains, bike path access, and restroom facilities. The shelter area is equipped with electricity. The park’s bike path stretches approximately 3/4 mile, extending beyond just the area around the pond and large grassy field. The pond is open to the public for fishing.
