Students from Crownpoint High School’s PLTW Engineering and Biomedical Science pathways recently participated in a hands-on field experience with the Gallup Fire Department on April 21, 2026.
During the experience, students explored how science, technology, engineering, and medical knowledge are applied in real-world emergency response situations. Opportunities like this help students connect classroom learning to future careers while gaining valuable insight from professionals who serve and protect our communities every day.
Thank you to the Gallup Fire Department for providing an engaging and educational experience for our students and for inspiring the next generation of innovators and first responders!
