Our JH and HS students have been diving into career exploration in the field of law this quarter! They’ve studied courtroom roles and gained an understanding of trial procedures—all leading up to a final project: a mock trial. In preparation for the big day, the prosecution and defense teams met with their witnesses, while the rest of the court members watched example high school mock trials for inspiration and insight. Today is the big day—mock trial day! What will the verdict be in a case involving texting and drinking while driving? A huge thank-you to Jennifer Esch, Elissa Forgey, and the Baca County Court for partnering with us to make this amazing learning experience possible!

Elementary Field Trip Fun! 🚌🎳 Today, our elementary students took a journey back in time with a visit to the Historic Adobe Museum in Ulysses, where they learned all about life on the high plains in the 1800s. 🐴📜 It was a great hands-on experience connecting history to the real world! Afterward, students switched gears and had a blast bowling—practicing their skills and trying out a new sport! 🎳 A perfect blend of learning and fun!
