The History of Slavery in St. Louis and Missouri traveling exhibit, created by the National Park Service’s Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, helps students explore local history and how it fits into the broader story of our nation. The exhibit looks at how historical events shaped our region and provides important context for understanding the past.
Mr. Keough learned about this exhibit while attending the Missouri Council for History Education Conference in St. Louis and brought the experience back to his Civil War class. Opportunities like this allow students to engage with history in a meaningful way, building knowledge, perspective and critical thinking skills. #VPPride

Students in our Criminal Law course wrapped up the semester with a mock trial that brought the justice system to life. As a capstone project, they stepped into courtroom roles as attorneys, witnesses and legal teams, tackling serious cases like first-degree murder and criminal hazing. With faculty and staff serving as the jury, students analyzed evidence, built legal strategies and presented their cases like true professionals. This hands-on experience strengthened critical thinking, teamwork and public speaking skills. 👏⚖️ See all the photos here: www.vpschools.org/law #VPPride #LimitlessLearning #FutureReady
