Last week, FHGS fourth grade students visited Fort Ticonderoga. It was a beautiful day full of history!
On Wednesday, May 22, the FHU Law Enforcement & Public Service class went on a field trip with SRO Hunter to the Vermont Police and Fire Academies. While there, students learned about the requirements for the entry into the academies, training and classes offered, and career opportunities. They also had the opportunity to learn about and apply their knowledge of the use and escalation of force. The students gained both knowledge and skills around careers in both policing and fire rescue.
