Community Court Connections is a program in which the Michigan State Supreme Court goes on the road and hears a case in another district. Eight terrific TKHS seniors along with advisor Mrs. Jefferson were able to participate in this event in Hastings at the Barry County Courthouse on May 14, 2008. Students were briefed on the case by prosecutor Tom Evans, enjoyed a luncheon with the Michigan Supreme Court Justices, and heard oral arguments in front of the Michigan Supreme Court by the prosecution and defense. The day concluded with a question and answer session with the attorneys. This was a memorable experience as it is the first time a Supreme Court case has been heard in Barry County. The following students participated: Brittney Benjamin, Jenny Berryman, Cailly Howell, Lyle Jackson, Daniel Lemon, Kendall Moore, Jordan Petersen, and Lindsey Wilson.
