Mr. Tyner commented, “We are pleased to help our community become better equipped in the event of an emergency. We hope you never have to use the AEDs but it’s good to be prepared in the event that you do.”

Twelve faculty members at Montgomery Catholic have been trained in CPR using the automated external defibrillators in 7월 2007. The entire kindergarten through twelfth grade staff will go through training using the AEDs during an upcoming in-service in 2월. “We are so blessed to receive such a generous gift from the Baptist Health Care Foundation. You never know when the need for such a device will be required, whether on the playing field or in the classroom. We’re glad we are now equipped to handle such emergency situations,” said Anne Ceasar, Elementary and Middle School Principal. The Montgomery Catholic Booster Club purchased a third AED for the athletic programs.
