Jon Baso and Mike Pontius are doing something that no other high school students in the state of Minnesota are doing. They are the only two high school students in the state who are taking a class offered through TI-IN Network which is a division of Westcot Communications. They are also learning through watching television. Baso and Pontius watch television during their astronomy class, one of the many classes offered through distance learning, a program in which Eagle Valley High School has participated since February of this year.
