Thanks to the Martin County Sheriffs Office, Fairmont Police, Officer Ballard, Deputy Tietje, and Deputy Gerhardt for facilitating school safety training at GHEC today. This is training we hope to never use, but aim to be prepared.
Prior to the pandemic, GHEC facilitated a Junior and Senior class trip to the Washington D.C. and New York City areas every other year. Over the last two years, the senior class has identified a more local destination as a class (i.e. the Twin Cities, Des Moines, Omaha) and has not traveled a great distance. To help us best plan and prepare for the future years at GHEC, we would appreciate your input on what the best options for future trip offerings should look like.
It is important to consider that the cost of travel has also become more expensive recently, and our last trip estimate to the East Coast was in the $1,500.00 price range. We do anticipate that the estimate for such a trip will exceed $2,000.00 for future trips and that this price range does eliminate some students from participating in this opportunity.
Our band and choir programs also facilitate a trip on an every-other-year basis, and the junior/senior trip has traditionally alternated with this. We are looking for input and feedback on how we can best structure future trips at GHEC, and what scope of trip would be most desired by our students, parents, and community. It is important to note that the primary focus of a class trip is to provide an educational experience, with the secondary purpose of providing our students with the opportunity to expand their travel horizons and have an enjoyable time with their classmates.
Please consider completing the following three-question survey to help us decide the best options going forward.
