🚔 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! 👏

🇺🇸 Honoring Veterans Through Service & Learning 🇺🇸
Students from across #BedfordCountySchools recently came together for a meaningful project that combined research, service and a commitment to honoring those who have served our country. 📚🎓
Shelbyville Central High School’s National Honor Society, #HOSA and Criminal Justice organizations, along with Cascade High School’s #CriminalJustice organizations, gathered information on veterans buried at Hillcrest Cemetery. 🇺🇸
As part of the project, #students documented veterans’ names, dates of birth and death, military branches, ranks, wars served and service medals and accommodations. 📝🎖️
The information gathered will assist the local Defenders of Freedom Organization with projects such as Wreaths Across America, which honors veterans by placing wreaths on the graves of servicemembers. 🇺🇸🪖
Through this experience, students learned more about military service, including different branches and ranks, while helping preserve the stories of veterans in their own community. Most importantly, they had the opportunity to honor the men and women who served our country. 🇺🇸❤️
