These EMT II Students Have Reason to Celebrate

Congratulations to Southern Guilford High School's Emergency Medical Technology II students - Bravo Class!!!!  This program is the only of its kind in Guilford County Schools.  All students pictured below are now certified Emergency Medical Responders, two just won 3RD PLACE IN NC for an EMT competition at SkillsUSA (our first year participating!), and all have completed 18 other Industry - Recognized Credentials (in the picture) including:

These students are also currently completing their clinical ride time / work-based learning experience with our partners: Guilford County EMS, Piedmont Triad Area Rescue, and LifeStar 911.  During clinicals, students lead patient care under the guidance of their preceptor.  Also, with the support and advocacy from Mr. Mark Case at Southern Guilford High School, these students have been providing first aid and patient assessment and care at multiple events throughout Guilford County.  Because of these amazing opportunities, these students have also amassed over 200 service-learning hours serving their community.

Please congratulate these amazing students on all their hard work and dedication as well as their commitment to serving their community. All students will be pursuing careers and higher education in this field.
