RRTC's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) students attended the HOSA International Leadership Conference last week in Indianapolis, Indiana, where they represented their program with excellence.
Sascha Green and Easton Rhodes competed in the Emergency Medical Technician event, which included both written and hands-on skills assessments. Their strong performance in Round One earned them a spot in the finals, advancing them to Round Two of the competition.
After competing against top students from around the world, Sascha and Easton earned third place internationally—an outstanding achievement that reflects their dedication, knowledge, and skill.
Congratulations to Sascha and Easton on this remarkable accomplishment! Special thanks to Mr. Prater for his guidance and support in helping prepare these students for competition.
We are proud of your success and the excellent representation of RRTC on the international stage.
We love bringing real-world industry experience into the classroom to help our students grow and succeed!
Great work, seniors—what an unforgettable way to finish strong!

RRTC’s Healthcare Coordinator, Jennifer Evans, led a training session for the Construction Technology Program on trauma situations that may occur in construction settings. She covered key topics such as the proper use of pressure dressings, tourniquets, when and how to use an AED, and the responsibilities of a first responder during an emergency. Students had hands-on practice using an AED and mannequin, applied tourniquet techniques on each other (volunteer-based), and discussed real-world injury scenarios. It was a very engaging and valuable experience. Thank you Mrs. Evans for investing in our students.
On behalf of the EMS and Nursing programs at Red River Technology Center, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you who contributed to the success of our recent Emergency Simulation Day.
Your support—whether through the donation of time, personnel, equipment, or expertise—played a vital role in creating an immersive and meaningful learning experience for our students. Without your willingness to go above and beyond, this hands-on training event would not have been possible.
The commitment demonstrated by your teams to emergency preparedness and community service is nothing short of inspiring. It is a testament to the strength and dedication of the emergency services in our region, and we are proud to collaborate with such outstanding professionals.
We are especially grateful for your effort and coordination that went into planning and executing this event. Your involvement provided our students with a realistic and engaging scenario that helped them build critical skills and confidence they will carry with them into their careers.
Once again, thank you for your continued support and for being such an integral part of our educational mission.
