Satanta Junior High 6th Grade Class Visits Haskell County Courthouse
Today, the Satanta Junior High 6th grade class had the exciting opportunity to tour the Haskell County Courthouse. During the visit, they engaged with representatives from various departments and spoke with department heads to learn about their titles and responsibilities.
The students also gained insight into the educational qualifications and steps required to become an elected official. It was a valuable experience that offered a closer look at the workings of local government and the roles that keep our communities running smoothly.
This educational field trip was made possible thanks to sponsors Joyce Apsley and Angelica Gallardo. The trip and tour were facilitated by school resource officer Tiffany Gasseling, whose efforts ensured the students had an informative and engaging experience.
