Thanksgiving Holiday Break Information
The RHHS Career Explorations students went to Vincennes University (VU) for a tour. They got to see the VU library, admissions, what the VU dorm rooms look like, classrooms, eat lunch in the dining hall, and we got to meet with the Program Chair of Homeland Security and Public Safety, Lou Caprino. Mr Caprino has a vast background with the LAPD, the FBI, and Homeland Security. He is now a professor and Program Chair for Homeland Security at VU and prepares students to enter the workforce. To say the students learned a lot (and enjoyed speaking with him) is an understatement! Thanks to Mr Caprino for the riveting stories, knowledge, and the time he took to speak with us! We even received a glowing compliment from him about our students: "Throughout my tenure as a professor at Vincennes University, I've had the privilege of interacting with thousands of high school students. However, I must say that the students from Red Hill were exceptionally attentive, courteous, and enthusiastic." (To learn more about his impressive career, go to: https://www.vinu.edu/-/Lou-Caprino )

In Ms. Tussey's Business class (grades 9-12), students have been learning all about how to send an email, what to write, and email etiquette. After learning about email etiquette, they worked in groups to review the email tips we’ve learned, looked at emails to identify what was wrong with them, and each group took turns on writing a GOOD email and a BAD email. The “bad” or poorly written emails are always fun to read out loud! 😆 See Ms Tussey's favorite "bad" email in the pictures! 😆
