Let’s go GHS EMS Dual Enrollment Students! This week we have some bright young ladies competing in a HOSA event, which includes schools from all around the state. We are so excited to see the enthusiasm for EMS in these young faces. So many people are unaware of what a person on an ambulance actually has been trained to do. Part of our job when going out into the community is awareness. We love to share our passion for helping others through this rewarding career.

These ladies have put in a lot of time in and outside the classroom to prepare. Instructor Smith along with all our Wallace South faculty and friends couldn’t be more proud of your 2nd place ranking yesterday!

The top five are competing again this morning. Please take a moment to send these high school students some well wishes!
