Academy Information - PDF file
Public concerns over public safety, security and emergency response and the increased demand for legal intervention and governmental services will continue to drive the growth of legal and court services and government interventions. At the same time, government agencies face increased competition from private business in recruiting new workers. A deep understanding of American and international political systems, the global economy, law, sociological and geographic changes and leadership models will be necessary for government employees of the future. These demands, along with mounting pressures to control costs, will lead to the reinvention of government services at the federal, state and local levels. Government, Law and Public Administration will focus on legislative, administrative and judicial services to carry out general-purpose government functions at the federal, state and local levels and to provide for national security.

The Teacher Academy lets students explore teaching as a possible career before they head to college. Students study how children and teens develop and learn, observe and interview teachers in their schools to find out what they love most about teaching. They create lessons and projects they can use when they do a field experience during their senior year. As a senior, students spend one or more class periods in a middle or elementary school finding out what teaching is all about.
