The Senior Government Class has taken part in a couple of unique activities. The most recent was a 30 minute question and answer session with current Governor Brian Schweitzer. Students had a collection of questions for the governor and engaged in a dialogue about current topics. The link below is an article written by Vonnie Jacobson that summarized the 30 minute discussion.

Another activity was the annual Prison Field Trip. Senior Government students took part in the Youth Awareness Program that informs students about understanding that their choices have consequences and that they can be long lasting.
