Manistee High School teachers Kristen Johnson and Amanda Clemons recently took a group of adventurous students from Manistee County on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Ecuador and the renowned Galapagos Islands. The teachers, known for their passion for exploration and education, organized an immersive experience that combined learning with exotic adventures.
