McCracken students are gaining skills that truly save lives. From First Aid and CPR to earning certifications—including Stop the Bleed—these students are stepping up in a big way. In these photos, students put their skills to the test during a Stop the Bleed tournament, competing to pack wounds and apply tourniquets quickly and effectively. They’re also practicing CPR, building confidence in critical, life-saving techniques.
