I am an alumni. I had some really great teachers as well as some very bad teachers here. I would expect this is fairly common in rural communities. However, what was very depressing was the lack of courses offered, the lack of commitment from the community and the poor decisions on financial investments. The community regularly voted down any votes to improve the school or build a new school to replace the almost literally crumbling HS/Elementary building. Yet somehow, new athletic structures were built and new football equipment bought (early 2000's). If you want to take a skill course or technical course you must enroll in the WMCTC and hope they have the class you are looking for. My course at the CTC was dropped half way through my 2 year program. I came out with a good education and earned a degree in engineering from a great University. I thank the teachers that helped me in this school system. But until the community gets behind them, and the board starts making better financial decisions, this school will continue to decline. Good luck Lake City. Education is more important than beating McBain...just remember that.
