This is a one-campus district: preschool through grade 12, about 150
students, and a staff that covers a lot of ground. Most teachers work
as a department of one, so students get known. Living in a small,
isolated town has its challenges. It also means the school can take
kids outside — ranches, water testing, and the hills around town —
instead of only reading about them.
