Students present CTE, arts and athletics at Stevensville board meeting
Summary
High school students presented on athletics, CTE, arts and student government — sharing enrollment figures, survey projects, FFA competition results and plans for work‑based learning and FAFSA support.
Students and staff from Stevensville High School presented a broad update to the board on career and technical education, athletics and extracurricular programs, highlighting student projects, competition results and supports for college and careers.
High school representative Mr. Gainey told trustees the high school serves about 347 students, noted a small current senior class of 71 that will be replaced by a larger incoming class next year, and said average attendance is near 91%. He also said the school ran a career‑plan survey so the district can measure student postsecondary plans over time.
Student presenters described a range of activities. Evan Montague summarized fall sports honors, noting multiple students received all‑conference and academic recognitions and introducing new coaches for winter teams. ALC staff gave an enrollment breakdown for the alternative learning center and said 30% of ALC students have an IEP or 504 plan and that many students are enrolled for anxiety‑related supports.
Students also described classroom projects. Jake Gablack said the math class project “SurveySays” uses hallway and teacher‑assisted samples to teach survey bias. McKenna Monroe outlined English reading lists that include Of Mice and Men, Lord of the Flies, Ender’s Game and selections for AP courses aimed at preparing students for May exams.
Student government and club leaders reported community and competition activity: student council is planning a winter pep assembly and spirit week, FFA teams placed in multiple events at the Montana Ag Expo and the FFA fundraiser expected to buy nearly $11,000 in Montana‑made products for the holidays. The board thanked students and staff and encouraged community attendance at upcoming concerts and events.
Trustees said they appreciated hearing directly from students and staff and praised the presentations as a way to keep the board connected to classroom work and extracurricular achievements.
