Scranton High School students stand on the stage where President Donald Trump recited the oath in the Capitol Rotunda this week. The students met with new U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan, right.
The group returned to Scranton late Tuesday night, after a busy day on Capitol Hill.
This was the fifth trip to an inauguration organized by teachers Sean Curry and Jerry Skotleski. Students committed to the trip a year ago, before knowing the parties' nominees.
On Tuesday, the students stood on the Rotunda stage where Donald Trump became the nation's 47th president the day before. The students met with Sen. John Fetterman, along with new legislators Sen. Dave McCormick and Rep. Rob Bresnahan.
