Students in Mrs. Swift’s Criminal Justice III class at Cascade High School put their investigative skills to the test while learning the important process of searching a crime scene. From carefully examining evidence to thinking critically about what each detail might reveal, these students are gaining hands-on experience with the skills used by real investigators.
Experiences like this help bring classroom learning to life and give students a glimpse into potential careers in criminal justice and public service. Great work, Champions! 👏
