Gallatin High Update

It is not a surprise that there is still a lot of snow around campus this morning. Please drive and park carefully.

Our snow contractor and custodial crew are doing their best to ensure there are clear pathways in and out of the building. However, they had to move snow to some atypical locations just to be able to clear snow in general.

Please be patient and considerate as our crews focus on main entrances and the pathways to and from those areas as well as perimeter sidewalks. They will continue to work on snow removal throughout the week.

Thank you for your help!

Please bring a book for our next Homeroom Hallway activity on Friday! You can stop by this library all week to pick up something to read.

On March 22nd, Biomed 4 classes from GHS and BHS traveled to Butte to work with the Clark Fork Watershed Education Program. Biomed 4 students have been learning how a person's environment may affect their health through routes of ingestion, inhalation, and absorption. Thanks to CFWEP, students were able to see examples of all three, as well as research and remediation efforts taking place to mitigate the effects for people living in Butte. Students were able to discuss chemistry, bioaccumulation, and a bit of Butte history.

Afterprom is right around the corner and we are still in need of A LOT of volunteers to pull off this awesome event! If you would like to sign up to help out with Afterprom this spring (April 15) please sign up at this link.
