Crazy Horse School (Lakota: Tȟašúŋke Witkó Owáyawa) is a tribally-controlled K-12 school in Wanblee, South Dakota. It is affiliated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).[1] It is within the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.[2]
Its high school program is one of five high schools that are within the reservation boundaries.[3]
It was established in the 1960s so residents would not need to send their children to Native American boarding schools. It was named after Crazy Horse.[4] Its current building was established circa 1975.[2]
In 2005 the tribal council suspended the operation of the school board. At the time there were residents championing the dissolution of the school board.[5]

In 2016 it got a suicide prevention grant.[6]
