Mike Murphy is a 5th grade teacher at CUSD's Gettysburg Elementary School. He climbs Mount Whitney every summer and for the past 23 summers, he's taken students with him.
Murphy offers the experience to his students every school year, but they have to qualify both academically and physically.
Those who make the climb say it's a life-changing experience.
