On Friday, September 4, Altha High School’s history teacher, Jackie Humphreys, took her American and World History classes on a one of a kind field trip to the Chipola Cemetery.

The assignment was to gather information from the headstones and then form a hypothesis on how the townspeople of Altha may have lived. This proved to be a very enlightening experience for everyone who participated and students discovered that history is not just found in a text book.
