Tonight, we proudly celebrated our Fall 2025 EMS graduates alongside their families, friends, and coworkers. More than 50 students earned their EMT or AEMT certifications—an incredible milestone built on dedication, long nights, and hard work.

We could not be more proud of each of them. It has been an honor to be part of their EMS journey, and we cannot wait to see the incredible impact they will make in their communities. The future is bright for this outstanding group of graduates! 🚑✨
