19 Nimitz High School Students Complete CERT Training

The Cougars underwent training to act as emergency responders in the event of an incident.

HOSA students learn emergency protocol and how to be of help during a time of crisis.

Health Occupations Students of America program prepares students to lead. Nineteen Nimitz High School HOSA students took this to heart. They recently completed training as emergency response volunteers.

The students took part in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training. The exercises took place at the Atascocita Sheriff’s Training Academy.

CERT certification prepares individuals in the event of a disaster. The program equipped the trained teens to give critical support as first responders. This means they can provide immediate help to victims. They can also organize as spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site.

Trainers assessed students in the following skills:

[ul class=”list list-search”] [li]Patient Triage[/li] [li]Emergency Treatment [/li][/ul]

The students can also help with non-emergency projects that improve safety of communities.

Craig Culberson and Chasta Winslow accompanied the students. Culberson is a CTE instructor and Winslow is a criminal justice educator at the campus.
