Leodis V. McDaniel High School – Criminal Justice

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students learn about criminal justice fundamentals and careers while investigating the question of how we can improve our current criminal justice system to better meet the needs of all Americans. In the first semester, students partner with Lewis & Clark Law School to learn the basics of the American criminal justice system while also exploring how race and economic class affect participation within that system. In the second semester, students hear from a series of guest speakers from fields related to criminal justice, including law enforcement officers, parole officers, attorneys, activists, and social workers.
