“Your life does not get better by chance. It gets better by change.”

September 11, 2001.
It's a date that many of our staff members remember vividly. Some were working, others were learning in classrooms, while some weren't even born yet. Today, we remember the lives lost while also educating our students. In honor of 9/11 and in rememberance of the lives lost that day, our Fire & EMS Technology students took to the burn building to complete 31 trips up and down the stairs. The 31 trips represent the number of times a person would need to climb up and down a one-story staircase to equal the height of one tower. Our photos can only show so much. Stay tuned for a video later today.
