CONWAY — Kennett High has some legal Eagles.
The most popular course at KHS these days is Intro to Criminal Justice offered through the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center. Taught by Kennett alumnus Terry (Livingston) Ballou (Class of 1985), students are getting a first-hand look at the legal profession. The Eagles recently held a mock trial complete with students serving as the prosecution and defense teams along with witnesses, while the jury was made up of high school faculty.
