During the weekend of May 14-16, students in the criminal justice (CJ) program at Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center (ACWHCC) took to the race track as they worked a private sports car race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Raceway. Mid-Ohio Regional Porsche Clubs of America (MORPCA) was the race sponsor. This was the fourth year that ACWHCC’s CJ students have been invited to help with the race by directing pit traffic, setting up traffic areas, and helping to line up cars for race starts. Twelve students worked the event this year. According to program teacher Stan Henry, MORPCA watches the students’ performance closely and may single out high-performing students to work other events for them later in the year. In return for the help, MORPCA makes a donation each year to the CJ program where the monies are used for SkillsUSA contest needs and scholarships for CJ students. This year three students received scholarships from the fund.
