Unit #50 would like to thank Effingham County Clerk Michelle Kollman and her staff for visiting THS on Tuesday April 15 to register THS students to vote.

💰 Our Accounting students took a trip to the Federal Reserve Museum in St. Louis! 🇺🇸 They explored the economic impact of the Federal Reserve, put their skills to the test in a stock market game, and even learned how to spot counterfeit money.
💸 One highlight? Picking up a real gold bar! Students also got to take home a unique souvenir—shredded money straight from the source!

Today, THS students had the incredible opportunity to hear from Lonnie Bedwell, a true inspiration. After losing his sight in a hunting accident, Lonnie refused to let obstacles define him. He became the first blind person to kayak the Grand Canyon, climbed Mt. Everest, and most recently, hiked Mt. Vinson in Antarctica and made it to the South Pole! His message was clear—you define your future. With hard work and determination, you can achieve more than you ever imagined! If you would like to learn more about Lonnie and his story you can follow him on Facebook or visit lonniebedwell.com.
