Mobridge-Pollock School District

MPHS senior class recently spent a day in Pierre, SD, where they spent time at the Department of Criminal Investigation Center. They were greeted by Attorney General Marty Jackley and received a tour of the building. Following the tour, the seniors went to the capitol building, where they heard testimony in the Senate State Affairs committee. From there, they met with Stephen Gemar (MPHS graduate), who works in the attorney general's office as an attorney and liaison lobbying state legislature. The seniors then met with Supreme Court Justice David Gilbertson, who answered their questions and gave them a tour of the Supreme Court. Students had an opportunity to meet with District 23 Representative Spencer Gosch for a Q&A session. It was a great day of learning for all students.

Cory Greenwood Speaks - Your Story Matters Assembly Program Description Teens struggle to find a sense of belonging. Now, more than ever, it is vitally important to empower and encourage our youth to rise above their current circumstance. Your students will leave this assembly with a renewed self-image and the resilience to handle adversity and bullying. They will be empowered to take responsibility for the solution instead of focusing on the problem. If you have any questions or do not want your student to attend this assembly, please reach out to Mrs. Bachman or Ms. Enright. https://corygreenwood.com/
