November 2011 - Elmore County District Judge Maura Culberson poses with local high school students and the U.S. Constitution during government class at the Academy Days Co-op in Millbrook.

On the first row are Taylor Brailsford of Montgomery, Luke Lemire of Clanton, Courtney Tanner of Wetumpka, Clay Vinson of Clanton, and Tanner Price of Elmore; on the second row are Rebecca Phillips of Millbrook, Timothy Walker of Equality, and Judge Culberson.

The judge's visit culminates the students' study of U.S. government this fall. For spring semester, the students will learn economics. The Academy Days co-op, held weekly during the school year at Grace Community Church in Millbrook, is designed for preschool through high school students to learn subjects difficult to teach at home, such as computer programming and biology lab, or best taught in group settings, such as drama and P.E.
