Public Safety students participated in a mock Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) situation, partnering with the Alamance County Sheriff's Office. During this scenario, students practiced treating patients at a crash site, used a drone to find individuals in a wooded area, and utilized search and rescue techniques. The mock "crash" site was on Graham High School campus and at Bill Cook Park. All ABSS high school students can take courses in the Public Safety Academy at Graham High School through Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses and in partnership with Alamance Community College. Public Safety courses explore careers in corrections, emergency and fire management, security and protection, law enforcement, and legal services. Students in the program have the chance to earn credentials for free, including FEMA, CERT, and the National Basic 911 Dispatch Certification. Students can take EMT courses at ACC each spring in a special cohort for high school students, and will also have the opportunity to take Firefighter courses at Graham next year. #ABSSCTE
