9 The Great Falls community is close-knit and it’s no surprise that it wants the best for its children’s futures. Through generous donations from local businesses and families, Great Falls High School added a new addition to house larger classrooms and state-of-the-art equipment for Career and Technical Education programs.
Col. Anita Feugate Opperman, 341st Missile Wing commander, and Col. Lisa Martinez, 341st Mission Support Group commander, visited GFHS this afternoon to celebrate Purple Up! For Military Kids. They met with Great Falls JROTC cadets, school staff and education partners for a tour of the updated CTE facilities.
There are about 600 students, many who are military dependents, in the CTE program learning trade skills in health science, business education, industrial technology, agricultural education, and family and consumer sciences. Contributions from the community create more opportunities for graduating students.
