Mount Carmel Junior/Senior High School participated in an intruder drill today. Not only are these drills required by state law, they are also helpful in ensuring the safety of our students and staff if an emergency arises. The staff did a great job in directing the students through the drill and the students did their part in following their direction.
For red ribbon week MCJHS invited our local law enforcement to come hangout with us. We are very appreciative that officer Hopper & K9 partner 11, Deputy Cheadle & his K9 partner Kiki, as well as police officer Sager demonstrated their training/skills via scent tracking, detect narcotics, track personal items of the officer, and everyone's favorite apprehension. Officers also took the time to answer our inquisitive students. A big thank you to our local law enforcement, MCJHS appreciates you!
Here are a few pictures from the demonstration.
Good luck to Zoie Randall, Kenzley Matchem, Isaiah Glenn, and Zeke Meier as they compete in the State Cross Country Meet today in DuQuoin
