🌟 Student Voices. Student Perspectives. Student Leadership. 🌟
The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council recently gathered at the Bedford County Schools Central Office to kick off another year of #student #leadership, conversation and collaboration! 💬✨
With both returning and new members joining the council, #students had the opportunity to get to know one another through an icebreaker question: “If you could instantly become really good at one thing, anything at all, school-related or not, what would you choose and why?” Their answers sparked some fun conversations and gave students a chance to learn more about the peers they’ll be working alongside throughout the year.
Students also met with Superintendent Tim Harwell, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Sandy Sorrells, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Neil Watson and Director of Communications Carol Garrette. They then toured the Central Office to learn more about the different departments and how each one supports BCS schools and students.
Throughout the school year, these student leaders will have opportunities to share their perspectives, provide input on district matters and help ensure that student voices are part of the conversation. 🗣️⭐
We’re looking forward to hearing what this group has to say and seeing the impact their voices will have throughout the year!

🚔 From Criminal Justice Student to Deputy!
Former Community High School Criminal Justice #student Max Hinojosa is now serving as a deputy with the Bedford County Sheriff’s Department!
During his time as a Criminal Justice student, Mr. Hinojosa was also one of the founding members of the Criminal Justice Student Organization, which began at Shelbyville Central High School before expanding to Community High School.
His experience in the classroom gave him opportunities to explore the field of criminal justice and gain experiences that could help prepare him for a career in law enforcement. Today, he is putting that passion and preparation into action as a deputy.
Mr. Hinojosa is a great example of what hard work, dedication and drive can lead to! 👏

🚨 Criminal Justice in Action! 🚨
Students in Mr. Chris Hobbs’s Criminal Justice I class at Community High School recently stepped into the role of law enforcement officers, responding to unknown calls for service and putting their training to the test.
During the scenario-based exercise, #students were assessed on officer safety, scene control and the implementation of criminal law as they responded to an unknown emergency in progress.
🏆 Taking the Top Spots:
🥇 First Place: Easton Brown
🥈 Second Place: Gabe Hendon
🥉 Third Place: Diego A. Carrillo Vitervo
A hands-on experience like this gives students an opportunity to apply what they are learning in the classroom to realistic situations in the field of criminal justice.
