Every student enrolled in a CTE program is required to join the student organization. The student organization for the Criminal Justice Program is SkillsUSA. LCS generously pays the district, state, and national membership dues for all students, as well as provides uniforms for all competitions. SkillsUSA holds competitions between schools at the district, state, and national levels. Our competitions include a criminal justice contest, in which one student is selected to compete in making traffic stops and/or an arrest at the state level, and a crime scene investigations contest, in which a team of three students are selected to compete in processing a mock crime scene at the district level. Winning either contest means moving on to the next level. Our criminal justice program has earned silver medals and bronze medals at several competitions!
