Our students have unique opportunities to learn outside the classroom through various field trips across the region, country, and even abroad. From exploring the Appalachian Mountains to venturing to locations like Patagonia, Chile, and the Grand Canyon, these real-world experiences allow students to engage directly with the Earth's geology, deepening their understanding and passion for the subject.
