💙 We couldn’t be more proud of MCHS teacher, Andrea Heisner!

In June, Andrea was honored as a HOSA Hero at the HOSA International Leadership Conference for her extraordinary courage and life-saving action. She performed CPR for over 45 minutes until first responders arrived—an act that demonstrates incredible bravery, compassion, and selflessness.

Andrea’s impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are honored to have her as part of the McCracken County Schools family!
