This move will save the Kalispell community a lot of money in property taxes over the long term. The Wolfpack is getting ready for its first season on the diamond, and the school is also expanding its sports offerings by hiring its first-ever head baseball coach. The new Rising Wolf Charter and PACE Academy models are working well on campus. They give students more control over their learning by letting them choose their own study paths.
