Ben Crogh, class of 2017, ponders his options.
“Success at NFS, and in life, really is determined in no way by raw intelligence. Rather, the ability to hang in there, persevering in your ideas, working and reworking to make something good: that is what makes success. North Fork should be a school for every child. It engenders passion, confidence in one’s ideas, an ability to evaluate and reevaluate one’s positions, and the resolve to persevere.”
— Gerrit Egnew, NFS '12; Montana State University '17
