For their final project, students in our Law Enforcement program took on the role of investigators by researching and presenting real cases to their peers.
Students could choose a cold case or missing persons case from anywhere in the United States. Using the law enforcement processes they learned throughout the year, they developed investigative plans as if they had just been assigned the case today. Their presentations included information about the victim, crime scene, evidence, potential suspects, investigative challenges, and case theories.
Students were required to think critically, analyze evidence, and present the facts as real detectives and investigators would during an active case review.

Heavy Equipment student Adrian Johnson is hard at work cutting high spots in the soil to help properly slope the field behind the school.
A special thank you to Blanchard Machinery for the loan of the CAT 938 Front End Wheel Loader and the other equipment we use in our program. Because of their support, our students are able to train on modern, industry-standard equipment—not outdated machines—and gain real-world experience that prepares them for the workforce.

Mr. O’Neill’s Electricity class is learning how to bend ½-inch EMT conduit. Students are using ½-inch pipe benders, angle finders, saws, pipe vises, and tape measures. Once they are finished, they will move on to bending stub 90s, three-point saddles, offsets, and four-point saddles.⚡️
