In a combined effort of the JMTC Carpentry and Law and Public Safety Classes, an honor wall, of first responder patches, was developed and created as a class project.  "This Honor Wall was made possible by donations from Men and Women around the state, nation, world and the Sheriff of Monroe County, Sheriff Michael J. Heller."  We are extremely thankful for the donations and hard work each student and teacher has put in to make this wall possible.
