MVHS, Denzel, and STEAM Students Hit the Greens!

Over two consecutive Wednesdays—October 15, 22, and 23—students from Mount Vernon High School, Denzel, and STEAM participated in hands-on golf instruction at Dunwoodie Golf Course, thanks to a generous grant from the PGA. 

Led by a professional golf instructor, students practiced putting, chipping, and driving—skills they were introduced to during PE classes leading up to the trip. This enriching experience not only expanded their ideas regarding physical activity but also opened doors to a sport many had never tried before.
