Galt to add hunting and fishing concentration program

By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – Since 2011, Alexander Galt Regional High School (AGRHS) has developed its concentrations program to motivate students and help decrease the school dropout rate. After significant successes with the sports, visual arts, performing arts, and science concentrations, AGRHS is adding a unique feature to its curriculum: the hunting and fishing concentration. René Gauthier, French teacher at AGRHS, was the mastermind behind the program. “Many students know that I hunt and fish and showed great interest towards this activity. I had one student that would frequently miss school, and lacked motivation in class, but would light up whenever he would talk to me about hunting and fishing. I wanted to do something to help students like him stay in school and find motivation,” he explained. According to him, several students will miss classes for weeks during deer hunting season.
