SCHOHARIE/WASHINGTON D.C. - Over the course of four days last week the Schoharie high school junior class went to Washington, D.C. and Gettysburg.

While there, they went to several museums, such as the National Museum of African American History, American and National History Museum, Holocaust Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, Ford's Theatre, Washington Monument, and Lincoln Memorial.

One of the students found a family member honored on the Vietnam War Memorial. Students had the opportunity to watch the Capitals play the Vegas Nights at a professional hockey game and were recognized on the Jumbotron. Additionally students learned all about the Civil War at Arlington Cemetery and the battlefields of Gettysburg. It was four full days, students were exhausted but enriched.

It was the second annual trip by the SCS junior class.
