CTE students end year with capstone exercise

Students at the Clinton High School (CHS) Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center recently participated in a capstone project led by Law and Public Safety Instructor Al Kimbrell. The project, a complex concert crime and mass injury/casualty scenario, included students in law and public safety, health science, theater, broadcast journalism, EMT and culinary courses, who used what they learned during the school year to play various roles in the exercise. Students served as responding officers and investigators, firefighters, EMTs, emergency room staff, and more. Community volunteers included personnel from the Clinton Fire Department, AMR, the Clinton Police Department, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Crime Scene Unit and the Capitol Police. Former CTE student Destiny Carpenter, who helped develop the first capstone project done by the CHS CTE Center, also volunteered her time. Culinary students provided lunch for the participants and volunteers.
