Claremore High School staff embarked on an exhilarating educational adventure as they spent time immersing themselves in the world of the National Guard. With a thrilling twist, they had the unique opportunity to ride aboard a Blackhawk Helicopter, providing an up-close encounter with the military's aviation capabilities. This hands-on experience allowed them to gain an in-depth understanding of the National Guard's vital role in our nation's defense and disaster response efforts. It was a day filled with insights and awe-inspiring moments, fostering a deeper appreciation for the dedication and commitment of those who serve in the National Guard. This immersive experience undoubtedly left an indelible mark on CHS staff, enriching their ability to inspire and educate their students about the multifaceted world of military service.
