The Building Construction and Welding Technology classes made plaques for each of the local EMS and fire departments, to thank them for their services in both Calhoun and Gilmer Counties.

Health Occupations students made a bulletin board in honor of the EMTs, Paramedics, and EMS personnel that perished in the 9/11 tragedy, while trying to rescue those in need.

"We would also like to recognize the ProStart Culinary Arts program for making lunch for the event, and the Business Class for creating the invitations and programs for our Recognition Ceremony," said Luczak.
