Today, Mr. Clark's Forensic Science classes had the distinct privilege of interacting with Special Agent Jason Wick. Agent Wick serves our country as an explosive & arson expert. He took time this morning with our students to discuss the cases that he has worked on in the United States. Our Forensic Science classes have been studying cases that impacted our country such as the Pizza Bomber case right here in Erie, PA. Agent Wick played a key role in the investigation on that case right here in Erie County. Thank you to Special Agent Wick for taking his time to speak with Northwestern HS students today.
