Class Spotlight: Spanish
Last month, Senor Williams took his AP Spanish students to the FBI to examine careers.
Students sat in on presentations by language specialists regarding FBI cases. In addition presentations by Case Agents and Task Force Officers demonstrated the importance of being bilingual in their cases and careers. Students ended their experience by taking part in a simulated child abduction case that required the assistance of Spanish language specialists to find the missing girl.
