Our TCHS students had an incredible day exploring local industries and creative arts last Friday! One group visited A Yak or 2 Farm to dive into agriculture, get up close with the yaks, and learn what it takes to run a unique local business. Meanwhile, another group got a behind-the-scenes look at production and stagecraft at the Old Town Playhouse!
