We love our first responders! ⛑ Local heroes volunteered a hands-on training experience for Pioneer Med Tech students learning phlebotomy. Naturally, they coached students right alongside instructor, Mrs. Haney, and gave insight on possible careers as firefighters/EMTs. Senior Ian Finnegan coordinated the visit, allowing the students to apply real world skills right in the classroom. Thank you Shelby Firefighters #2492 for this memorable event & all you do! What a great way to practice & learn!
