Harding Charter to add lacrosse
Harding Charter Preparatory High School has been awarded a 2020 First Stick Grant from the U.S. Lacrosse organization. The grant will provide $10,500 to build a lacrosse program for students and allow Harding Charter Prep to buy equipment for 20 field players and one goalie.
Students also will become participants in the U.S. Lacrosse 100 percent Membership Program. The school received complimentary U.S. Lacrosse membership for up to two adult coaches and up to 20 new youth or high school players.
Harding Charter Prep will use the former football field, which is transitioning to a soccer field, for practice and games, athletic director Joe Hughes said.
“It is our hope to start a male team this spring and hopefully be able to start a female team next year,” Hughes said.
With the addition of lacrosse, Harding Charter Prep now will offer 14 sport programs, Hughes said.
CV Tech to offer EKG courses
Canadian Valley Technology Center has added new electrocardiogram curriculum.
High school students can now receive four health careers certifications. First-year students are prepped for taking the Certified Nursing Aid exam. Students also are prepared to take the Advanced Unlicensed Assistant (AUA) exam and the Phlebotomy Technician exam, in addition to the EKG technician exam.
For adults, Canadian Valley Technology Center also now provides a short-term monitor technician course. Students are prepared for the certification exam that would enable them to seek employment as a monitor tech, a job that requires monitoring multiple hospital patients and alerting appropriate staff with abnormal occurrences.
This new adult course is open-entry, with individualized study and flexible days and hours starting weekly, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Classes will begin Jan. 27. Cost is $244. Tuition is waived for anyone who meets Next Step Scholarship criteria that includes being younger than 24, living within the district and being a high school graduate (or equivalent).
