WHS Law Field Trip
Our law and A.P. United States Politics and Government students had a great time visiting the state capitol. First, we visited the Legislative Office Building and enjoyed a tour from State Representatives Christine Goupil and Devin Carney. From there, we took some outdoor photos posing in front of the Capitol. Finally, we toured the State Museum, State Library, and Supreme Courthouse. Overall, it was a fun learning experience for students.
