Emergency Medical Services

Our EMS program has done many great things already this school year. We have had students pass their Patient Care Tech certification tests, get many hours of hands on training, and even visit a cadaver lab!

Fire and Rescue

The Fire and Rescue class has had the opportunity to get extensive training from Mr. Tracy, who still works as a Fire Fighter in the Sugar Creek Fire Department. The class has had the chance to listen to many speakers, get Hazmat certified, and visit a training facility

Criminal Justice

Our Criminal Justice students have been able to learn about all the different careers in the Criminal Justice field. Officers from Rushville PD recently brought 3 different K-9 officers in to demonstrate all the tasks they can perform.
