Meet our Future Industry Leaders! 🎉
This year, dozens of students from Glacier High School, Flathead High School, and Linderman Education Center stepped out of the classroom and into real workplace internships across the Flathead Valley through our Work-Based Learning program.

They cared for patients, assisted in classrooms, filled prescriptions, laid stone, rode along on patrol, and a whole lot more. 15 of them shared their stories with us. Over the coming weeks, we'll introduce you to each one: who they are, what they did, and where they're headed next.

A huge THANK YOU to these local partners and dozens of other community businesses who opened their doors to internships: Bliven Law Firm P.C., Glacier Grins Pediatric Dentistry, Grease Monkey, JNC Construction Kalispell, Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, Kalispell City Government Police Department, Somers Lakeside Elementary School, Logan Health, McGarvey Law, Peterson Elementary School, Sykes Pharmacy, Trinity Lutheran - Childcare, and The Forest Service - Flathead National Forest U.S. Forest Service.

There’s been a lot of tough goodbyes these past few weeks at Glacier as students graduate, staff retire, and others move on to new adventures.

However, we want to say a special goodbye to a cherished member of the Pack, our head custodian, Judd.

Anyone who has worked with Judd over the last 19 years knows just how special he is. He is the type of humble, hardworking man who you want in your community, the supportive colleague you want to work beside, and the incredible educator every student should have the chance to learn from. And when we say he loves our students, he LOVES our students. Football games, Special Olympics, Speech and Debate, you name it…Judd has shown up for it. His own daughters are even graduates of the Pack.

Simply put, Judd helped shape Glacier. Not just the building, but our values as a Wolfpack. We are who we are in so many ways, because of who he is. Judd demonstrated grit, gratitude, and grace every day caring for our school and for all of us and the entire community owes him an enormous debt of gratitude.

Judd, you are proof that one man truly can make a difference when you care deeply about those around you. You were never just a number. You were our number one.

We love you and we will miss you. 💚💙
