🌎 GHS Model UN Students Take on the World! 🌎

Grinnell High School's Model United Nations team traveled to the Iowa State Capitol for a two-day conference, where students stepped into the roles of international delegates representing countries from around the world.

Throughout the conference, students tackled real-world global issues through committee sessions, debates, negotiations, and collaboration. They worked together to share perspectives, develop solutions, and build consensus on challenges facing our world today.

🏆 A special congratulations goes to GHS student Charlie Karanja, who earned the prestigious "Distinguished Delegate" award!

With more than 300 students participating in the conference, this recognition is an outstanding accomplishment!

We are proud of ALL our Model UN students for representing GHS while demonstrating leadership, critical thinking, diplomacy, and communication skills.

🧡🖤 Congratulations, Charlie, and great job, GHS Model UN!

📊 Real-World Learning in Action!

On Tuesday, GHS business teacher Greg Prather took students to Cedar Falls for the Iowa Society of CPAs (ISCPA) Accounting Showcase.

Students heard from Nathan Mueller, who shared his story of committing more than $8 million in fraud against his former employer. He discussed what motivated his actions, how he was able to carry out the fraud, and the lessons learned from his experience.

Following the presentation, students put their own analytical skills to the test! They were given a business case to examine, tasked with identifying potential problems within the company, and challenged to develop recommendations. They then presented their findings and proposed solutions to a panel of judges.

Our students did an outstanding job applying critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills to a real-world business scenario!

🧡🖤 Great job representing GHS!

Taught by Iowa Valley Community College instructor Sheila Winburn, this course gives students the opportunity to develop valuable, hands-on technical skills while earning both high school and college credit.

We love seeing our students gain real-world experience and explore future career opportunities! 🧡🖤

Mr. T. Smith's Health Careers class went on a field trip to Indian Hills Community College today (10/27). The students toured the campus, learned about the health science programs offered, and participated in hands-on learning within three of the health science programs. Students had the opportunity to practice blood draws (phlebotomy), work in teams to find ways to improve a patient's daily life (Occupational Therapy Assistant), and practice some balance with the Physical Therapy Assistant program.
