HPS is a MI HEARTSafe School District
The Michigan Alliance for Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death of the Young is recognizing HPS as a MI HEARTSafe School District. West, Holland Heights, Jefferson, and Holland Middle School received the award for the first time, HLA was awarded last year, and Holland High School has been awarded a HEARTSafe designation four times.
- To receive the award schools must have:
- A Medical Emergency Response Plan
- A Medical Emergency Response Team
- CPR/AED Training for staff
- Accessible and Maintained AEDs
In the last year, over 130 staff members have been CPR/AED trained with another 70 for the near future.
Students and Staff at HPS are safer because of the hard work of our Holland Hospital School Nurses, the Holland Fire Department, Safety Director Joe Soto, the Michigan Alliance for Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death of the Young, and Project Adam (Automated Defibrillators in Adam' Memory)
