As our kids gear up for a much-deserved winter break, it's fun to hear them talk about how they are doing this year. As they sit for Christmas dinner, they will probably talk about what they have learned so far this year, and maybe some of the challenges they are working through. This might be a good topic to chat about as you sit down with family and friends in the days to come. What are the top 10 high schools in North Dakota?
