This year’s lineup blends exciting new offerings with beloved traditions, each designed to provide powerful, eye-opening learning experiences

Extended Fieldwork with the Borders & Immigration Expedition Course

As part of the Extended Fieldwork portion of Borders & Immigration course, our 9th and 10th grade students trekked to El Paso, TX and across the border to Ojinaga, Mexico, to observe segments of the U.S./Mexico border wall and to interact with people who live and work in the region.
