Emergency Medical Technician Program 

(1 Year =3 credits)

This intensive one-year program provides comprehensive training in emergency medical services (EMS), covering various critical areas such as rescue operations, medical emergencies, and vehicle extrication. As part of their training, students will be expected to wear uniforms and personal protective equipment (PPE) daily and become an active member of a local rescue squad. Upon successfully completing the course, graduates will be well-prepared for various career paths, including but not limited to roles as an EMT, emergency room technician, surgical technician, contractual EMT for businesses, and more.

To apply for this program, students must be 16 years old by November 15th.

For those aspiring to become career firefighters, it is recommended to take the EMT course in 11th grade and the Fire/Rescue course in 12th grade. This sequence ensures the cross-training necessary for employment as a professional firefighter.
