Juniors and Seniors had the opportunity to attend the North Central Montana College/Career Fair in Conrad.

While there, students engaged in a wide range of activities incorporating elements of math, science, history, and language arts, ensuring a truly cross-curricular experience and proving the adage that “nature is the best classroom.”

Thank you Sunburst Fire Department! Sunburst Schools wishes to thank the Sunburst Fire Department for their speedy response to an alarm going off at North Toole County High School on September 16th, 2024, at approximately 6pm.
