The Dryden Red and Black

Dryden High School’s Class of 2024 recently learned lifesaving skills and fulfilled a graduation requirement by obtaining lifesaving skills.

This year’s seniors completed the State of Michigan graduation requirement of instruction in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). The requirement to offer training began with the 2017-2018 school year. Beyond training, however, Dryden High School seniors were certified in Heartsaver CPR AED, a skillset they can now renew every two years.

According to http://cpr.heart.org, Heartsaver® CPR AED is a video-based, instructor-led course that teaches adult and child CPR and AED use, infant CPR, and how to relieve choking in adults, children, and infants. This course teaches skills with the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback, and guide the students’ learning of skills. Students were taught by AHA Certified Instructor Denise Brewer and assistant Rachelle Lageski.
