Washington DC: Exploring our Nation's Capitol

Every other year, Juniors and Seniors take the coveted trip of going to Washington DC to engage in both the political and historical significance of this country. This trip is always a highlight during the high school career for many students. Juniors and seniors are flown out to Washington DC for the week and engage in learning the story of America that Washington DC tells. 

Students visited many of the monuments such as the Abraham Lincoln Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, and the Vietnam War Memorial. They visited many other monuments, Smithsonians and museums as well as meeting with two different Congressmen, Erik Paulsen and Keith Ellison. 

Students had the chance to be able to get away from the normality of Minnesota and experience a new setting and culture within the capital of the United States. Even when students were not out and about, they were busy building community with fun card games, board games, and enjoying one another's company.
