🩺 Thank You, USD! 🙏
A huge thank you to University of South Dakota for visiting our Health Careers students! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Students worked through a realistic case study of a patient with pneumonia and a urinary tract infection, exploring the full process from community health and prevention, to hospital diagnostics, and ending with treatment including a urine analysis and antibiotic injection. Such a hands-on experience helped bring classroom learning to life!

🚜 Ag Field Trip Fun! 🌾
Our Ag classes took a trip to a fully functioning farm where we watched a soybean harvest in action! Students learned how soybeans are used to feed cattle on-site and sold off-site — seeing the full cycle of farm-to-feed firsthand. 🐄🌱

And of course… we couldn’t leave without spending time with some super cute baby animals! 🐥🐖
