"Stayin’ Alive" isn’t just a song—it’s a skill. Over the last few weeks our juniors took an important step by learning hands-on CPR with Nurse Tammy York, building the confidence to respond in an emergency. Some students are even pursued certification! A huge thank you to Dr. Melvin York for providing CPR masks for every student—because being prepared can truly make all the difference.

Congratulations to the following Juniors, voted on by the Senior Class, that will be part of this year's graduation ceremonies!
