The prompt does not give explicit enrollment numbers or staff size, so we omit those details. Distinguishing attributes: As the sole high school named after its county, it serves as the central educational hub for Beaverhead County’s rural population. Notably, on November 3, 2021, the school experienced a ransomware attack by the Avos Locker group, which claimed to have exfiltrated data and caused an extended email system outage, prompting the use of alternative communication methods. The attackers reportedly demanded a ransom payment in exchange for not releasing the alleged exfiltrated data. The incident resulted in significant operational disruption, forcing the school to rely on non‑digital means for internal and external communication during the outage.
