Richmond Community Schools honors two students who competed at SkillsUSA national EMT competition
Summary
Richmond Community Schools recognized two students from the SPIRE EMS program—recent Richmond High graduate Nurrexxi Rojas Cruz and Joe Bennett—for competing at the SkillsUSA National EMT competition in Atlanta and thanked Richmond Fire Department instructors for their instruction.
Bridget Hazelbaker, director of student support and communications for Richmond Community Schools, said the district “had the privilege of recognizing an outstanding achievement that brought tremendous pride to our school district and community” as it opened its meeting.
Hazelbaker told the board that two students from the Richmond Area Career Center’s SPIRE EMS program—recent Richmond High School graduate and senior class president Nurrexxi Rojas Cruz and Northeastern student Joe Bennett—represented the region last month at the SkillsUSA National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. She thanked the Richmond Fire Department firefighters who serve as instructors for the FireEMS program “for providing world class career education and preparing our students for careers that save lives and serve our communities.”
The district recognized the students’ participation at the national EMT competition and acknowledged the partnership with local fire instructors that supports the program. No further awards, placements, or competitive results were specified in the meeting record.
The recognition was presented as part of routine board meeting announcements; no formal vote or further board action was recorded for the recognition.
