We are pleased to announce that Mr. Steve Hutton was nominated by the local Navy recruiter to receive a trip to San Diego, Calif. to visit the United States Naval facilities in order to learn more about careers available in the Navy. He was chosen from a pool of educators to make the visit in mid-May this year. This trip will give him information on career possibilities that he will be able to share with our students.
