GREEN RIVER Expedition Academy High School (EAHS) has brought in a furry friend to accompany students to their classes as part of a pilot dog program.
The dog has been in the school for about nine weeks now, but EAHS just received unanimous approval from the Sweetwater County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees to keep the dog in the school through the remainder of the school year.
Ralph Obray, EAHS Principal, said the dog’s purpose in the school is to help calm students, promote a positive atmosphere, and better the students’ mental and emotional health.
