On Wednesday, October 28, Scotus American History students participated in County Government Day, hosted by the American Legion!
Students got an inside look at how Platte County government operates by touring departments throughout the courthouse, meeting with staff, and learning about the important services they provide to our community.
To wrap up the day, students joined other schools from across the county for a mock trial, where volunteers served as jurors and witnesses. Scotus students JR Olerich, Julia McPhillips, and Rachel Spawn were called to the stand as witnesses and did a fantastic job!
What a great hands-on learning experience for our students! Thank you to the American Legion and everyone who helped make this opportunity possible!
