Dr. Gerald L. Beck says a community college should be just as its title indicates – there for the community.

The phrase “because we’ve always done it that way” isn’t one you often hear in Blaine County schools. That’s because public and private educators, as well as those at the college level, are in the business of putting innovation to work – overhauling programs to improve effectiveness, identifying new methods to better reach students and forging partnerships across the community.

At The Community School in Ketchum, one of the most popular classrooms isn’t a room at all. It’s the great outdoors.
