The quest to learn when Smith Elementary School opened led students on a learning adventure that revealed long forgotten historical facts about the school. The students captured all these details and created a display of historical photos and newspaper clippings, which are now on display at the school.

More than 100 students wear the Air Force Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps uniform at Ramstein High School. While they may dress, march and speak the part of service members, that isn’t the goal of the
program.
