Approximately 140 students of the freshman class participated in a disaster exercise.

Prior to the exercise a brief graduation ceremony took place, with the students receiving their Teen CERT diplomas.

There was two exercises, and graduation ceremonies at the high school, due to the large amount of students participating.

During a mock bus crash scenario, the students acted as responders, and JHS drama students acted as the “victims.”

Students utilized their newly-learned CERT skills under the direction of local emergency response agencies an school staff.

The exercise gives students a chance to practice and refine their new capabilities should they need to respond to an actual disaster or emergency event in the future.
