Evanston High School students get to experience another culture firsthand thanks to a local senior. The Uinta County Herald reports Remi Woodward attended a year of school in Germany as part of a scholarship. Her teachers there proposed that she help start a formal exchange program. Woodward got her home school district on board, and in June, she and a group of students headed back to Germany for two weeks of school and cultural exchange. German students joined Evanston students early last month. After graduating, Woodward plans to hand the program off to an incoming junior to keep it going.
