Community Service

2026-2027 ABL2E Pathway Courses 

Our academy prepares students for pathways connected to:

1. Business (Entrepreneurship Internship)
2. Law Enforcement (Correctional Service Internship)
3. Legal Studies (Mock Trial)
4. Government & Public Service (Austin Corps)
5. Military leadership (JROTC)

Through hands-on experiences and community partnerships, students explore real-world careers while learning how to lead, collaborate, and advocate with confidence.

In ABL2E, our goal is for students to leave with a strong sense of belonging, the courage to take risks, respect for themselves and others, and the skills to work together toward meaningful goals. Most of all, we want them to feel proud of who they are and confident in pursuing their professional dreams.

Majoring in Criminal Justice prepares students to pursue advanced academic degrees and to serve the community in the operation and management of federal, state, county, and municipal criminal justice agencies. Students pursuing a criminal justice degree may select a major in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Law Enforcement or Corrections. All include optional internships in high school and in college.

The program at Akins introduces students to the many different professions in the Criminal Justice field. The classes start at an introduction level then progress into classes that will be useful in technical schools, colleges and the general workforce. We lecture and discuss related jobs such as Law Enforcement, Probation / Parole, Law School, Government Jobs, Investigations, etc. We have a lot of hands-on activities such as fingerprinting, crime scene searches, and interview skills. We have taken field trips to courtrooms, County Jails, District Attorney’s offices, and the University of Texas Law School. We conduct mock trials as well. Student participation is very necessary.
