Families appreciate strong local schools. Finley-Sharon Public School and Hope-Page Public School offer small class sizes, co-op academics and athletics, and a sense of shared purpose that’s hard to replicate in larger districts.

County services are straightforward and accessible through the Steele County Government site at Steele County Government.
