CONCORD — Two Concord High School students were recently recognized by the Cabarrus County Board of Education for their quick thinking and professionalism during a medical emergency on campus earlier this year.
Kurtis Davis and Logan Schelling, students in Concord High School's Public Service Academy, were honored for their actions on March 6, when they assisted a fellow student experiencing a medical emergency during a campus cleanup.
According to Cabarrus County Schools, Davis and Schelling put skills learned through their Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) coursework into practice as they responded to the situation. The students secured the area, monitored the student in distress, gathered important medical information and communicated with emergency medical personnel when they arrived on scene.
School officials praised the students for remaining calm under pressure and for providing assistance until professional responders arrived. "Their professionalism, composure and compassion reflected the mission of the PSA Academy and brought pride to Concord High School and the district," Cabarrus County Schools said in a social media post recognizing the students.
The Public Service Academy at Concord High School prepares students for careers in public safety and emergency services through specialized coursework and hands-on learning opportunities. The academy's EMT program equips students with foundational medical response skills that can be applied in both emergency situations and future careers.
The board's recognition highlighted the real-world impact of career and technical education programs and the importance of preparing students to respond effectively in emergency situations.
School officials said Davis and Schelling's actions demonstrated the value of their training and a commitment to helping others in a time of need.
