Montgomery Catholic High School Anatomy students assisted Dr. Cynthia Brooks at the Elmore County Humane Shelter with spaying and neutering dogs on Saturday, December 6, 2014. Montgomery Catholic’s Anatomy teacher, Elizabeth Harbin invited her students to attend an optional field trip. The students that attended were able to gain service hours for the time they gave to the shelter while gaining hands on experiences in the sciences. A sincere thank you to the Elmore County Humane Shelter for allowing Catholic to have a class on site.
