Jaeden Briley lives on a road named for her homesteading family, a narrow dirt track packed with deep snow. After feeding the chickens, horses and cows on her family’s Montmorency County farm before dawn, she climbs into her Ford Focus and slips and slides five miles to the highway, which is a straight shot to Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools.
A few months remain of her senior year at the small, rural school, and the 18-year-old knows she now has a choice of roads.
