Dear Parents/Guardians of Forensic Science Students:
I would like to welcome your child to the Forensic Science elective at Millersburg Area High School! I have a number of exciting, hands-on activities planned for the upcoming semester. The overall goal of the course is to develop the students’ problem-solving skills, and ultimately, to develop a lifelong learning style.
Modern forensics involves photography of crime scenes and suspects. Fingerprints have long been a part of forensics and have become easier to collect from crime scenes due to new technologies. The latest technologies to hit the crime lab involve the collection, amplification, and analysis of DNA. As such, part of this course will involve processing and collection of fingerprint data and DNA isolation and analysis of each of the students in class. Please understand that this information will remain private throughout; in no way will the information collected about the students become part of the public record. The activities are mandatory, but the information will not be shared with the school and will not leave the classroom.
Finally, bear in mind that some of the topics we will study and discuss can be graphic in nature. Every effort will be made to ensure that these topics will be approached and covered in a professional and clinical matter. Unfortunately, criminology is not a pleasant topic. Pictures and/or videos of crime scenes and/or victims and circumstances may be shown to students throughout the course. Illicit activities and cases (either from the past or the present) may be discussed or used as examples as well. Students who feel uncomfortable with discussing, researching, or observing anything illicit or graphic may want to consider another course.
