40 students in our Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Biomed & Human Body Systems classes had a wonderful career awareness field trip to Bitterroot Health hospital all day Wednesday, May 7.
Some of the departments we toured were: surgery, rehab, International Heart Institute, nursing, clinics and job skills.
Thanks to all of the generous folks at Bitterroot Health and Area Health Education Center (AHEC) for giving our students this fabulous learning opportunity! And thanks, too, for the great pizza!

Last week, the Hamilton High School Classroom Without Walls (CWW) class attended a three-day field trip in Yellowstone National Park. We had an amazing experience and are so fortunate and grateful for the organizations that helped make this trip possible. We would like to recognize and thank Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation, Hamilton High School FFE, and Bitterroot Climate Action Group for funding this trip.
Trip Overview - We stayed in Gardiner, Montana on the Yellowstone River at the North Yellowstone Lodge and Hostel. Here, we went fishing, made s’mores, played games, and cooked all of our meals. We spent one day in Yellowstone exploring the geology of YNP. We visited Norris Geyser Basin, Grand Prismatic Spring, Old Faithful, and finished the day with a hike to a waterfall. On Thursday, students woke up at 4AM to meet with a wolf biologist in the Lamar Valley. Here, we watched several wolves and a grizzly bear interact over a bison carcass. Later that morning, we met with a fisheries biologist near Canyon village to learn about the history of fish species in YNP, as well as current issues involving non-native fish. We then drove to Lewis and Clark Caverns and did a two hour cave tour before heading home.
