Multiple Choice

Caleb is the superintendent of a small school district in a rural area of Iowa with a population of 2,500 people. The school district participates in a wide variety of sports for girls and boys including softball, baseball, basketball, volleyball, track, wrestling, and cross country. Students may also be a member of over 12 clubs and organizations sponsored by the school. The school typically rates highly on state-wide tests and approximately 80% of high school graduates attend college.
