MI HEARTSafe Schools
A HEARTSafe designation recognizes a school’s efforts to prevent sudden cardiac death of the young (SCDY) by preparing for a cardiac emergency. Members of this school community know how to recognize the signs of a sudden cardiac arrest and respond quickly by calling 9-1-1 and using CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) until EMS arrives.
Our district has a total of 14 Automated External Defibrillators, including a new bilingual (English/Spanish) AED located just outside the northwest corner of the high school, accessible outdoors year-round, further enhancing the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and the entire community.
