Chuck Hey

Chuck Hey is a native of Chester, SD, and has had a longstanding association with the University of Sioux Falls. Aside from USF’s connection with School Bus, Inc., Chuck, his wife Marjory, and his family honored his mother, the late Gladys Holm Hey with a generous gift that reshaped the welcome area of the Stewart Center on the USF campus in 2017. As part of the gift, the upgraded area was named the Gladys Holm Hey Lobby and included a new ticket area, rebranded lobby with student-athlete photos and logos, office space and more. His mother Gladys, was active at USF in basketball and soccer as well as mixed chorus and served as an officer for the Women’s Athletic Association and the Pep Club before earning her degree in teaching in 1932.

Chuck graduated from Jasper High School in Minnesota and later attended the Minnesota School of Business before beginning his career. After several years, Chuck took over the local school’s bus service. He expanded their business in 1972 to include the bus service contract for Willmar Schools. In 1974, Hey also took over the busing needs for Marshall Schools. In 1979, Hey acquired the busing contract from the Sioux Falls School District and created School Bus, Inc. Chuck established a long-standing relationship with the University of Sioux Falls by providing team busing needs for many years.

Chuck and Marjory have a strong belief in the Christian mission of USF and remain loyal supporters of the University and Cougar Athletics.
