We now know that we will be starting school in phase 1 which means that we will be running the AACBB schedule, and we have roughly 25% of the total student body utilizing the DLI learning system.  This means we will be serving the nutritional needs for all those students in many ways on different days and locations.  In order to keep all those programs straight we have created the first Online Meal Ordering Program.

Both high schools  in Helena, along with our partner schools across the Montana AA Conference are working to live stream as many of our activities as possible this fall.  The AA conference along with the NFHS network are excited to come together to use this technology to expand the opportunity for fans of our  programs to watch various events taking place our communities.  There are some limitations for what can be streamed given location of the event and technology availability but efforts are being made across the AA Conference to get all possible events streamed.

A single private account will allow fans to not only follow their favorite team from our Helena facilities but also provides access to all events scheduled on the network throughout the state.

The links below will allow fans to access the NFHS network, establish an account and immediately have access to watch events on their computer or mobile device.  A portion of the subscription fee is returned to the schools.  Sign up, follow your favorite teams and support your school!
