DEA Teen Leadership Academy

This summer, King High School criminal justice students attended the 7th Annual DEA Teen Leadership Academy. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Houston Field Division hosted the group of teens from around the Houston area for two days. The students were selected to join this program and gain firsthand knowledge concerning the many harms of drugs and drug addiction. The academy provided the students with rare behind-the-scenes access to professional equipment, facilities, and legal processes as they learned what it takes to be a part of the DEA team.
