NB sends two to Iowa Youth Institute

North Butler High School students Sarah Goodrich and Austin Janssen attended the Iowa Youth Institute at Iowa State University on April 25, along with nearly 300 students from 130 high schools.

Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds emphasized the importance of STEM education and challenged all Iowa high schools to join the Iowa Youth Institute in 2017.
