Hamilton High School's Classroom Without Walls recently engaged in their annual three day trip to Yellowstone National Park. Students began their adventure last Friday with a cave tour at Lewis and Clark Caverns, where they learned about the cave history and saw several bats.

On Saturday, they visited Norris Geyser Basin, where they ran into the Daly Elementary 4th graders who were on their Expedition Yellowstone trip. Five of the CWW seniors had attended the very 1st 4th grade trip to Yellowstone eight years ago and were excited to get a picture with Mr. Redmond. The CWW class then headed south to Grand Prismatic Spring and Old Faithful. They finished their Saturday with a campfire along the Yellowstone River.

Thank you to Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation and Hamilton High School FFE for funding this incredible experience!

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!

Sophomore Anthony Steuerwald has distinguished himself as one of the most exceptional mathematics students in the state. His performance at the Montana Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) Math Contest held earlier this year placed him in the top 2% of students statewide—an achievement that reflects not only his deep conceptual understanding, but also his ability to think critically under pressure. Consistently demonstrating precision, creativity, and perseverance, he approaches complex problems with confidence and curiosity. His success serves as a testament to his strong work ethic and genuine passion for mathematics, setting a high standard for academic excellence among his peers.

Anthony deserves a tremendous shout out, and all of us at Hamilton High School are incredibly proud of his academic accomplishments. Earning a top 2% ranking in the state is no small feat, especially as he competed against students from all grade levels across Montana. This achievement highlights not only his exceptional mathematical ability, but also his dedication, discipline, and drive to excel. Anthony’s success stands as an inspiring example of what hard work and passion can achieve.

Great job Anthony! We are proud of you! – HHS Math Department!

Please take a moment to read the below letter from Superintendent Thennis regarding yesterday's school trustee election and the outcomes of the proposed safety & technology levies.

Go Broncs!

Hamilton Community, Thank you for engaging in the recent election process. While the results are currently unofficial, I want to extend my congratulations to Eli Johnson and Marisa Neyenhuis for their election to the Hamilton School Board of Trustees. I also want to thank Weston Harmon for his candidacy and commitment to our schools. Unfortunately, the safety and technology levies were not successful; However, I appreciate the community engagement and feedback throughout the process. Moving forward, I look forward to our continued partnership as we shape the future of our schools. Respectfully, Dave Thennis - Superintendent

Wondering about the cost of the proposed safety & technology levies?

For approximately $10/month, a homeowner with a $500,000 home can support both levies!

The Hamilton School District is committed to fiscal responsibility & the continued success of our students. Our goals are to protect the safety of our students & staff while preparing all of our graduates to enter the workforce, trades and/or college!

Our families deserve safe schools that focus on student achievement & maintain basic technology infrastructure! To maintain that focus, we MUST take critical steps to ensure that we can fund the ever increasing costs of safety & technology. This is accomplished through the passage of our proposed levies.
