Students used a similar design and were allowed to modify it as they desired to make it a unique piece. Each student designed, built and finished it as they wanted and it was made entirely from 1 x 12 pine shelving board. First and second place were separated by 1 vote! Each student did an excellent job and are very excited to be able to take them home to share with their families. First place went to Luke Watson, a junior at Westmoreland High School.
Anatomy in Clay Workshop
Gallatin High School Criminal Justice
During the week of May 7th, Gallatin High School Criminal Justice students embarked on a five day clandestine burial recovery project. The project involved a police call for service, police response to the scene, police investigation, obtaining search warrants, obtaining criminal arrest warrants, and the complete processing of a major crime scene (including the burial recovery of a pig that represents the body of a homicide victim). Multiple role-players, including GHS staff members, were utilized. Gallatin Police Department’s Chief of Police, Donald Bandy; Sumner County’s Sheriff, Sonny Weatherford; Sumner County Assistant District Attorney, Eric Maulden; and Gallatin Mayor, Paige Brown, were also involved in the project to create the most realistic experience possible.
The project included four days of on-site criminal investigation and crime scene investigation and one day of a related courtroom trial. The project is comprehensive in nature and requires students to combine and utilize skills they have learned in their past three years of Criminal Justice courses while at Gallatin High School. In order for the students to properly complete the project, they were required to utilize the following subjects of study: Criminal Justice, Math, English, Biology, Chemistry, Ecology and Anatomy and Physiology. During the project, students utilized these subjects in order to complete the following assignments/tasks: the initial reporting phone call placed to law enforcement personnel, the dispatching of first responding personnel, officer safety, securing of the crime scene, request for and arrival of C.I.D. (Criminal Investigation Division), request for and arrival of crime scene personnel, processing of the entire crime scene for physical evidence (including the documentation, collection, proper handling, storage of all physical evidence, and the exhumation of the victim’s body), developing and pursuing investigative leads (including the interview and interrogation of suspects), corresponding and communication of detectives and crime scene personnel, arrest of a suspect or suspects (if applicable), and the proceedings of the related mock court trial. Forensic analysis that students will process and be responsible for includes (not limited to) the following: Blood Spatter Reconstruction (utilizing Trigonometry and Geometry), Forensic Anthropology, Forensic Entomology, tool mark impression evidence, footwear impression evidence and the casting of impressions, crime scene photography, crime scene note-taking, crime scene report writing, crime scene measuring and sketching, and collection of evidence from the crime scene.
This project was designed to be realistic in nature and (as closely as possible) parallel real-world incidents, scenarios, stressors, decision making, timeliness, necessity for use of resourcefulness, and justification of actions. The involvement of the elements of participation, communication, leadership, and cooperation from every student involved was imperative. GHS Criminal Justice students were able to experience, explore, learn, enjoy, remember, and utilize lessons learned through the completion of this project.
