Marc Maccarrini of ELHS' Career Center has provided The Reminder with dispatches from several of the Center's recent trips and projects. He will periodically share them with Reminder Readers. Guilty as charged November 22, 2005 - Guilty as charged! Students from Mr. Maccarini's Law class found the defendant, Breanna Keenan ('07), guilty of involuntary manslaughter after the death of her five-day-old "egg baby." The "egg baby" project was part of Mrs. Gauthier's Child Development class and is designed to provide students with a better understanding of what is involved in the day-to-day care of an infant. Attorney Alice Perry (District Attorney/Westfield State College Law Professor) oversaw the mock trial in which Prosecutor Ashley Cunningham ('06) and Defense Attorney Keshia Johnston ('08) argued the case to the 12 members of the jury. The mock trial left the students with an appreciation of the difficulties that judges, lawyers and juries face in attempting to present all relevant facts and legal arguments and insure the just resolution of the issues involved. Vocational Aptitude Battery November 10, 2005 Not sure what your future holds? Students from ELHS were able to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. The scores provide information on current levels of skills and abilities and are designed to help students select appropriate occupations for career exploration. Though students may not have the skills for a certain job now, the ASVAB can help determine the ones they need to learn and improve for career success. Automotive Technology November 10, 2005 Interested in a career in Automotive Technology? Students from ELHS listened to George Panagiotou from the Springfield Technical Community College (STCC)/Ford Motor Company's ASSET program speak about the specialized education needed for a career in Automotive Technology. The students used a diagnostic computer to evaluate a demo vehicle. Checking Out Criminal Justice November 3, 2005 Interested in a career in Criminal Justice? Students from ELHS were able to listen to Officer Pat Manley from the ELPD speak about careers in criminal justice ranging from a police officer, to a detective, to the FBI. Manley also hosted an ELHS student for a one-day job shadow to help that student decide if a career as a police officer was right for him. | ||||||
