I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | December 10, 2021 1:00 AM

COEUR d’ALENE — Sandpoint High School got a chance to tour North Idaho College’s main campus and the NIC Parker Technical Education Center last week.

“Students were informed about the large variety of degrees and programs offered at each of the campuses, including: nursing, business, welding and auto technician,” said Jeralyn Mire, post-secondary counselor at SHS.

Many students reported that they were surprised at how affordable the college classes are and how many programs NIC offered, said Mire.

The field trip was paid for by a Panhandle Alliance For Education grant.
