In our Firefighting classroom, students finished out the school year demonstrating how they can tie secure knots in less-than-ideal situations. Whether vision is obstructed, both hands are unavailable, or any other real-world situation happens during a fire, our students will be prepared to save lives. This is education that trains these special individuals to run into situations where every second counts 💪

After 15 years of dedicated service at James Rumsey Technical Institute, Mr. Lantz is retiring from his role as Carpentry Instructor. Throughout his career, he has made a lasting impact not only through the skills and knowledge he shared with students, but through his generosity, compassion, and willingness to help others. From mentoring students to leading projects like the construction of tiny houses for flood relief efforts, Mr. Lantz consistently went above and beyond for our school and community. He and his students also provided tremendous support to the Horses With Hearts program through various projects and acts of service.

His kindness, leadership, and servant heart will be greatly missed, and we wish him all the best in his retirement! Congratulations Mr. Lantz! 🎉
