Our CTE Law & Public Safety students visited the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab. Our students had an outstanding opportunity to observe and learn directly from professionals working in the field.
During the tour, students were exposed to several critical forensic science processes, including firearms and ballistics analysis, fingerprint comparison, and the latent print development and retrieval process. Crime Lab personnel walked students through how evidence is properly collected, preserved, analyzed, and ultimately used to support criminal investigations and court proceedings.
Experiences like this are invaluable for our students, as they allow them to connect classroom instruction to real-world applications while gaining insight into potential career pathways within law enforcement and forensic science. We are extremely grateful to MCSO and their Crime Lab staff for taking the time to engage with our students and provide such a meaningful, hands-on learning experience.

Seniors please stop by the HotSpot to order your cap & gown ASAP, the deadline is February 27, 2026 so if you haven't purchased yours get it now.

Our CTE Graphic students created new graphics and installed them on the old basketball scoring table. This will be donated to Ruth Fisher Middle School. They did a great job on the design and installation.
