Through a partnership with the Department of Labor and Industry, we have the privilege of recognizing Hamilton High School/Bitterroot Polytech Charter School's first ever Certified Construction Technology Pre-Apprentices. These students chose to take every hands-on learning opportunity we offer in our shop at HHS as well as OSHA 10 and Forklift Theory & Safety Training. Whether these students choose to pursue a registered apprenticeship, pursue advanced technical training, or step right onto a job site, they are doing so with the backing of the Department of Labor and Industry. Please join me in congratulating our Construction Technology Pre-Apprenticeship certified students Darton Fryer and Nathan DiGiovanni (pictured below).
I am pleased to recognize the accomplishments of our HHS/Bitterroot Polytech Charter School seniors who completed their Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certifications while in school with HSD3. These students completed over 90 hours of online course work, several skills days training sessions, a full 12 hour clinical day in a care facility setting as well as passing the Nurse Aid Competency Examination. Please join me in congratulating Macyn Hogan, Lundyn Murray, Taylor Rosenberger, Kyslei Devlin, Jenna Ellis, and Ciara Hanley!
Through a partnership between our Hamilton School District's Bitterroot Polytech Charter School and The University of Montana Bitterroot, we are able to provide Commercial Driver’s License training to high school students who are over the age of 18. This type of training opportunity aligns perfectly with the goal of Bitterroot Polytech Charter School as we strive to support students meet workforce readiness milestones. While they are not quite done with the program, both of these young men are on their way to completing CDL training and earning licensure this summer. Please join me in recognizing Brian Matten and Connor Burnett!
The HSD3 free summer meal program starts on June 8! To get more information, please see the attached flyer or visit:

Elvira is Hamilton High School's classroom skeleton. She got to take a relocation adventure between being used as a prop for the Bitterroot Polytech's Wilderness First Aid course and going back to her home in Ms. Antonioli's anatomy classroom.
We had 8 Bitterroot Polytech students participate in a 2-day wilderness first aid safety and CPR training at the end of April. They were awarded certificates from AERIE Backcountry Medicine. In addition to CPR, they learned the basics of wound management, splinting, patient assessment, improvised care and management of hot & cold emergencies in the outdoors.
Bitterroot Polytech Charter School and Hamilton High School students attended a forklift safety and theory course yesterday morning with the Montana Building Industry Association (MBIA) Grip Safety instructor Monty Jensen. They then had the opportunity to visit Pigman Builders' yard to see a telehandler forklift in person. Students were able to directly apply some of the classroom material to the field experience. A special THANK YOU to Pigman Builders for their partnership in this program and for hosting our students! This is a great example of how the Hamilton School District is giving our students real world experiences & opportunities that prepare them for the workforce! Go Broncs!
