Business Department News...

Here’s what’s happening in the Business Department these days.

Congratulations to the following HACC Academy Automotive Students; James A, Ben D, Mitch M, Brandon R, and Craig Z.  The students recently passed their station inspection test!  Now it’s on to the emissions testing.  By the end of the year they will all be licensed to emissions test and inspect your car!  Anybody need their car inspected?

Personal Law

Students who have taken Personal Law during their time at RL and who are 18 years old have an awesome opportunity on May 16. We will visit the State Correctional Institute in Camp Hill. Students will begin the day by signing in to the prison and accepting full responsibility to comply with all institutional rules. Students are amongst the inmates as they perform daily tasks whether it is lunch time, yard time, gym time, etc. This trip allows students to see what type of environment, routine, expectations, etc. are present in a state correctional facility compared to a county prison.  Judging from previous visits, this is an invaluable opportunity for each student to see what it is actually like inside the state prison system.
