On February 23, 2026, students interested in the Health and Human Services Pathway participated in a site visit at the Woodbury County 911 Communication Center. During their visit, students had the unique opportunity to listen to active 911 calls and observe firsthand how emergency communication professionals respond in real time.
Students learned that the CPR skills they are developing will be especially valuable in emergency situations. Dispatchers often need to guide callers through performing CPR until first responders arrive, highlighting the importance of remaining calm, knowledgeable, and clear under pressure.
The Woodbury County 911 Communication Center answers local and surrounding emergency calls and coordinates response efforts by dispatching the Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement, fire departments, ambulances, and air rescue services when needed. This experience provided students with a deeper understanding of the critical role emergency dispatchers play in saving lives and supporting the community.

The boys basketball season came to a close tonight after a furious second half comeback fell short with a 71-62 final to Scotus Catholic. While it wasn't the final score anyone hoped for the boys showed a lot of heart out there and never gave up.
