Patient care technicians play a vital role in providing essential care to patients in need. They offer hands-on support to help patients with their basic needs, which greatly affects the lives of both the patients and their families. Our students have the unique opportunity to obtain their PCT certification before leaving high school and start working immediately in the healthcare field upon graduation.

EMS Students along with the Law & Public Safety program worked together today in a simulated Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). Students had to respond to an active shooter who also had a bomb. Communication, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills were put to the test as students worked together with continuously changing priorities to do the most good for the most people. Several programs contributed to the effort with role players from CEM Tech, Nursing, Graphic Design and Computer Repair.
Second year Law & Public Safety students applied their knowledge of the court system with the Mock Trial of New Columbia v. Chris Archer.
