🚑✨ Big day for our EMT students! Today, they stepped inside the ambulance for the very first time as future providers. From airway tools to trauma kits, they got hands-on with the equipment that makes emergency care possible.

Watching their excitement as they explored lifesaving gear—and realizing the responsibility that comes with it—was incredible. These students are preparing to be the calm in chaos, and today was a big step on that journey.

Proud of this group and can’t wait to see them grow into the professionals our communities will depend on! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️💪

🔧 First Day at HCTC!
We're looking forward to a great year of hands-on learning, building skills, and preparing for bright futures. We can’t wait to see all that our students will achieve!

🌸 Opening Day is almost here! 🌿 The Hannibal FFA Greenhouse Sale kicks off THIS Saturday, April 26 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and if you know, you know—this is not your average plant sale. It’s a spring tradition, a community favorite, and yes... the crowds can rival Black Friday (but way more cheerful and plant-loving). 😄 Come support our students and take home some gorgeous greenery! #HannibalProud #TogetherWeThrive

Congratulations to our March Student of the Month, Elizabeth Romano! Elizabeth was nominated by Mrs. Jones. Elizabeth Romano exemplifies what it means to be a dedicated and compassionate student. She is excelling in multiple classes, consistently demonstrating academic excellence and a commitment to learning. Beyond her coursework, Elizabeth qualified in a partner competition for DECA State; when her partner chose not to go, she took it in stride. She was then given the opportunity to participate in a Leadership Academy at State DECA, and she chose to step out of her comfort zone and attend. This in itself showcases her leadership and drive to succeed. She goes above and beyond by helping her peers who are nervous about the competition, offering support and encouragement that boosts their confidence, as well as giving the new state attendees a personal tour without being asked so that they would know where to go for their test and competition at state. Elizabeth was also more than willing to step up and make almost the entirety of 100+ shirts in the month of March when we were in a pinch trying to get them done as fast as possible to help one of our coworkers in a time of need and support. Elizabeth's hard work, kindness, and willingness to uplift others make her a deserving nominee for Student of the Month.

Friendly Reminder: NO SCHOOL for Spring Break from March 27-31 Have a great break Pirates! See you April 1!! 🏴‍☠️ #HannibalProud #TogetherWeThrive
