The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Randall T. Shepard Academy for Law and Social Justice is hosting two open houses this week for current sophomores and their parents.
The first open house is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 6:30 p.m. at Red Bank Library. The second will take place Thursday, Oct. 27, at 6 p.m. at Harrison High School.
The Shepard Academy, housed at Harrison High School, is a half day program named after Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard, who is a Harrison alumnus. The Academy is a two-year program for junior and senior students interested in law, social justice, American policy and social values. In addition to earning high school credits in English and social studies, students are able to earn college credit in postsecondary universities in Indiana.
Students enrolled in the Shepard Academy spend half of their day at their home high school and the other half at the Academy, allowing them to participate in extracurricular programs at their home schools. Students have the opportunity to participate in mock debates, benefit from visits by the Chief Justice, travel to Indianapolis to meet with representatives, and more.
