Worland students asked Senator Barrasso about issues polarizing the nation while he reminded them of the limitless future of opportunity within their reach.
On Thursday, Feb. 18, Senator John Barrasso addressed Worland High School’s Advanced Placement U.S. History Class. This is an annual tradition in Worland, something the senator says he “always looks forward to.”
Traditionally, the students’ class concludes with a visit to Washington D.C., where they have a chance to see Senator Barrasso’s offices on Capitol Hill. Such a trip wasn’t possible in 2021 due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.
