We are the Dillon Beavers! BCHS is the Beaverhead County high school located in Dillon Montana. Our staff and students are proud of the fact that Beaverhead County High School has received, in the past, the MBI "Exemplar School" award and achieving "Platinum Status" as a part of our MBI Program. Beaverhead County High was the first high school in the state of Montana to achieve “Platinum Status", which is a reflection of the positive and respectful atmosphere we have worked hard to create and maintain. Although, the MBI Program through the Office of Public Instruction no longer exists, Beaverhead County High School has transitioned their MBI program to the MTSS (Multi-Tied Systems of Support) model now endorsed by the OPI. In addition, BCHS has achieved regular accreditation status by the Montana Office of Public Instruction as well as being approved for a much more stringent accreditation process from the AdvancED organization which was formerly the Northwest Regional Accreditation organization.

The Montana Center for Horsemanship (MCH), is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the first and only education center in the U.S. devoted exclusively to Natural Horsemanship, a philosophy and approach, based on understanding horse behavior and the horse's natural instincts. Its focus is on working with the horse to build a foundation of mutual trust and respect, enabling the horse to act and respond with willingness and a desire to be a partner. Natural Horsemanship or the La Cense Method of NH, developed more than two decades ago by a team of equine professionals, academics and researchers, under the leadership of William Kriegel, co-founder of MCH, bridges the gap between natural and conventional learning and training methods. Through a unique partnership between the Montana Center for Horsemanship and the University of Montana Western, professional and amateur horsemen and horsewomen, as well as educators, scientists, and researchers—are brought together to improve and expand horsemanship in the broadest sense.

Experience One engages students and faculty in actively exploring the knowledge, purposes, and practices in every field of study.
Experiential learning opportunities make up the heart of Experience One, or X1 for short.
Here’s how it works. You take a single course at a time, three hours each day for 18 days before moving on to the next. Taking four courses or “blocks” during the semester, you’ll earn the same amount of credit as under traditional multiple class systems. Watch our quick video about Experience One below to learn more!
