Day 177 - Our final Hawk of the Day for this school year holds a special place in our hearts. Meet Jehsed, a remarkable young lady enrolled in our health sciences program. During a recent medical emergency in one of her classes, Jehsed demonstrated exemplary skills learned from Ms. Godwin's teachings, swiftly coming to the aid of a fellow student in need. Her quick thinking and compassionate action embody the spirit of our Hawk community. Jehsed, you are truly an exceptional Hawk! #OneHawk
