Ramona McCallister has been the keystone to the development of the Youth Transition Program (YTP)
April 5, 2019 by
In 2013, Crook County received its first YTP grant and hired Ramona as our first YTP specialist. Ramona worked diligently to develop our program. She formed relationships with Jefferson County School District’s YTP specialist, Vocation Rehab counselors, and YTP coordinators to bring innovative programs to the transition students of Crook County School District.
In the past six years, Ramona has helped Crook County develop a YTP program that is outstanding and a model for transition services in our community. She has touched the lives of countless students and families. Ramona has helped our program to grow from one to two YTP specialists who consistently meet or exceed the benchmarks established by the YTP grant. She has shared her experiences across the state and encouraged our students to tell their stories of success.
Ramona is creative and innovative in her approaches to helping students succeed. She implemented an internship program, taught pre-employment skills classes, help a Crook County Student create a self-employment plan, and assisted our developmental disability students to become working members of our community. Ramona exhibits the admirable traits of integrity, enthusiasm, compassion, and resourcefulness.
This will be Ramona’s final year with Crook County, but she will leave a lasting legacy, and a well-established and vibrant YTP program.

Crook County High School students practiced basic dissection techniques, conducted a survey of the major systems of the shark, and related their study of the shark to the structure and function of vertebrates. The dogfish shark helps provide some insight into vertebrate evolution and classification.
High School Students Learn about Velocity
January 14, 2019 by
Crook County High School students in Mr. Mumm’s science class studied the relationship between different types of energy. The students formed teams and created a ‘roller coaster’ using styrofoam, tape, cardboard, and marbles to learn about velocity. In addition to creating their roller coaster, students had to draw a picture of it and include the height/length. In the end, students had to show calculations used to get their final velocity of the marble.
