Rural schools provide so many amazing opportunities for students, and we are such a school with such students. Our students have ranch experiences and small town friendships. They care about each other like siblings almost, typically sharing the same teachers as their classmates k-12. As a teacher I see my students at the local grocery store and the high school sporting events. We are blessed to know most people who drive in town by the color of their pickup. Our classes are amazing! The class sizes are small, typically 10-15 students, and as a teacher I get to know each student personally and academically very well. Armed with this knowledge, I am able to push each child to become a better all-around individual. We set academic and personal goals, short and long term, and celebrate when those goals are reached. We all strive for success!
