Bio
My name is Dave Elchoness and I'm currently in my fourth year at the Career Elevation and Technology Center. I helped start the Pre-Law program and develop its four core courses: Introduction to Law, Criminal Law & Justice, Civil Rights & the Law, and Business Law. I also co-coach the CETC's Competitive Mock Trial Team.

Before transitioning to teaching, I practiced law and worked in the business world. I'm passionate about helping students tackle complex problems and celebrate their achievements, and the CETC provides the perfect environment for this work.

In my free time, I run a non-profit organization called The Peter Fund and enjoy spending time with my family.
