MHS Seniors recently went on a field trip to Rayburn Correctional Center, along with seniors from Pine, Varnado and Franklinton. RCC staff discussed the history of the prison, gave an overview of the judicial system, and spoke on future job opportunities. Students were able to enjoy a tour of the facility, and attended an inmate play that emphasized good judgment and decision making. The hospitality of the RCC staff was greatly appreciated.
Last day for seniors is May 2nd!
Have an amazing week!
