guidance they will receive in this environment will prepare them for the 'working world' and for a college education.

"The Haines City High School
Criminal Justice Academy is the perfect place to get young students headed in the right direction
for any career, but particularly in the legal field. The Academy provides students with an excellent knowledge base of the
American Legal and Criminal Justice System. Scenario based instruction is provided by former and current law enforcement
professionals, along with other members of the legal profession and the Academy Staff.
As part of this program students receive instruction on the importance of developing and maintaining good character and ethical
behavior. Both of which are very important qualities in life and in the current workforce no matter what your career choice may
be.
The Haines City Police Department is proud to partner with the Academy in providing an excellent learning opportunity for your
child that will assist them in becoming successful not only in the academic, legal and criminal justice setting, but in any
career choice. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I highly recommend you consider allowing your child to participate in
this excellent program."
