Always glad to host our former students that are still heavily involved with our EMT Class. Some of our students are ready to sign up for EMS Clinicals and also apply for an opportunity for an Internship with McDowell EMS . Several were out today, but we were able to snap a few pics of the ones at school. Thank you Desiree McLaughlin and McDowell County EMS for your commitment to the success of our Program. Great partnerships make Great communities.

This year NC SKILLSUSA looked a little different for MHS and myself. We did not send any EMT Teams to compete on the High School Level this year, but… we did have 4 of our very own students compete at the College Level or Post secondary and represented McDowell Technical Community College and the 1st time MTCC competed at SKILLS. These 4 former MHS EMT students competed against some of the best community colleges in the state. They proved why McDowell is the BEST!!! Payton Teague & Autumn Slone took 2nd Place, Cheyenne Kelley & Sierra Kelley Parker placed 5th Congratulations to all 4 and McDowell Technical Community College..

It is always a Blessing to have your former students return home for a few days and make it a point to visit their old teacher for a while. Former EMT Captain Blaine Williams who is currently serving in the US Navy as an EMT/ Firefighter on an Aircraft Carrier came by EMT Class at MHS today. Thank You for your service to our Nation..!!!

Monday Night Aug. 14th 2023, McDowell County Board of Commissioners and McDowell Emergency Services Director William Kehler recognized our McDowell High/McDowell Tech. EMT National SKILLSUSA Winners.

Capt. Payton Teague & EMT student Emma O’Neil placed 2nd in the Nation in Atlanta Ga. the week of June 19th- 24th. Teague & O’Neil scored an impressive 978 points out of a possible 1000, which in turn was just shy of a 1/4 of a point from a 1st Place win.

This is our 3rd time competing at Nationals in EMT. 2019, Capt. Harlie Laws Price was our 1st student to ever compete at this level, the competition was a demonstration only then, but Harlie would have placed 1st in the High School division had their been a Championship at that time. Harlie was featured in the EMS World Magazine July 2019 edition. Last year 2022, our team of Capt. Autumn Slone & Chyenne Kelley placed 5th in the National EMT Competition.

So great things are happening here in McDowell County. Teague & O’Neil we’re each presented a National SKILLSUSA Plaque, National SKILLSUSA framed Competitors Certificate, a fully stocked EMT Jumpbag, along with a pulse ox, glucometer, and thermometer and 2 MTCC Coffee Mug.
Congratulations to both students.
