Bulldog pride filled the air in Choteau this week as students headed back to school.

They're one of the last schools to start each year, but make up for it with a shorter Christmas break.

This year, more than 200 students are enrolled in high school and junior high, including two foreign exchange students: one from Mexico and one one from Bolivia.

Principal Nate Achenbach noted, "We traditionally do have one, but this year we have two and we're always excited to have them in our school because they bring their culture into our school as long as we can share our own culture with them."

Among the changes this year: the addition of the state's new virtual academy program which will give kids the option of completing some of their coursework online.
