Tohatchi High School hosted their Experiential Site Visit for GMCS administrators, principals, deans, board members and staff. The site visit allowed educators from various parts of the district to see what Tohatchi High School students are doing in their classrooms with their pathway program, the School of Business. Their friendly and knowledgeable Student Ambassadors were on hand to give guided tours, welcome guests and answer some questions. Tohatchi teaching staff also provided insight into their classrooms, curriculum and how they think the students are progressing in the program. 👏🏼Great Job, Tohatchi High School and Principal Moore.
