John F. Kennedy High School Health Science students got real-world practice for careers in the medical field recently when they ran their very first Red Cross blood drive. With the support of both student volunteers and donors, the team collected 29 units of blood, nearly doubling their original goal. Health Science Teacher Shalinda Witcher says that a single unit of blood can save up to three lives, making this work valuable as a community service as well as a career preparation exercise.
"Students put their classroom knowledge into action while making a big impact in our community," Witcher said. "John F. Kennedy High School continues to support our mission of preparing future healthcare professionals. "
