Socorro HS (TX) trains students to become CERT members

Not quite Joppatowne, but training high school kids as CERT members is a great idea.


Students at Socorro High School pursuing careers in public safety learned first-hand last week how to handle an emergency situation in two days of exercises at the El Paso Fire Department training academy.

About 31 students in Socorro's Security Services Class, a part of the curriculum for the Career and Technical Education program, became Community Emergency Response Team members last week after training with firefighters.
