Today, our Government classes had an outstanding opportunity to engage in a Scholar Exchange with the National Constitution Center, diving deep into Article II: The Executive Branch.
Students explored the Founding Fathers’ intentions for the presidency, examined the constitutional powers of the executive, and discussed how those ideas connect to modern presidential issues and debates. It was a meaningful, real-world extension of the work we do in the classroom, challenging students to think critically about the role of the president—then and now.
A special thank you to the National Constitution Center, along with scholars Kevin Murphy and Dicky Grigg, for leading such an engaging and insightful discussion.
Opportunities like this continue to bring the Constitution to life for our students and strengthen their understanding of American government in action. 🇺🇸

Parents and Basketball Players;
We had a great year across all sports and all age levels boys and girls! Here is an opportunity to continue that growth and encourage your kids to get outdoors (or in the gym) this summer and keep getting better! Don’t forget to watch for camps, clinics and other local opportunities as well! Please reach out if you have any questions. This idea was borrowed from another community that had much success and is working to build strong programs with youth that carry on into later ages.
Please reach out with questions to jstrnad@usd109.org.
