It was a cool September morning when fire lit up the sky, destroying Huntley Project High School.

"I remember my sister waking me up around 4 o'clock in the morning and said the school was on fire.  I didn't really think at first, I just thought she was making it up," admits Huntley Project Senior and Student Council President, Taylor Drees.   "But came here, all my friends were here."

Fellow senior and Student Council Vice President, Danielle Burdett, reacted similarly.

"We were like 'Oh, it'll go out pretty soon and nothing will really happen, we'll miss like a day of school or something,' but then it just kept getting worse and worse," recalls Burdett.

More than the blaze itself, high school History teacher Bill Murphy remembers all the commotion.

"I don't think any of us really remember it, anything other than a lot of activity and kind of a bad day."

One year later all that remains of the old high school are a couple of bricks and gravel lot.  And while it doesn't go unnoticed, it's no longer the focus as Huntley Project moves forward.

"I haven't heard a lot of them even talk about what happened before," admits high school English teacher, Rhonda Koivu.  "They just keep talking about the future."

"We're more regular now, with the trailers," explains Burdett.  "Most kids are used to them.  It's kind of hard walking past every day, you walk past where the school used to be and there's nothing there now.  But a lot of kids are excited because now the bond passed for the new school."

"Really, we aren't focusing much on the fire or any of those items," says Huntley Project High School's new principal, Mark Wandel.  "We're looking to celebrate the new school that's coming in and what we've accomplished in that route."

A new school for Huntley Project is on the horizon, but in the meantime modular homes, a bubble gym, and constant construction is just a normal day at school in Worden.

"School is school," says Koivu simply.  "Whether it's a trailer house or a big brick building."

Murphy adds his goal every day is to, "help kids in this area or that area and move forward."

Today went on like business as usual at Huntley Project.

Despite the many changes these students have endured one thing has stayed constant.

The resilience of the Red Devils.

"You can sit there and complain, but that's not what we try to do," says Drees.  "We try to make the best of everything and have fun out here."

An attitude and philosophy that will carry these students well into the future.

The fire last year was found to be arson, set by four students.

Gregory Three Fingers, 19, was sentenced to 16 years with 13 suspended with the Montana Department of Corrections.

He must also pay $100 every month for 16 years.    

James McCade, 15, was sentenced to two years of probation and Katie Jo Parshall, 15, was sentenced to one year of probation.

Both were ordered to pay $100 a month, or 50% of their monthly income, whichever is greater until they turn 21-years old.

Michael Victoria, 17, is awaiting trial.
