Gallatin High Update

It's the time of year when GHS seniors are working hard on their senior projects and connecting with community organizations for their outreach projects. Seniors, Landon Derifield and Luke Linin, recently worked with Eagle Mount to create wheelchair accessible work benches for doing hands on projects. They also built sun magnification greenhouse boxes for there outside garden. Thanks to Eaglemount for working with our students and thanks to Landon and Luke for creating more accessible resources for Eaglemount participants!
