Ridgeland High School wins an EKG machine
ROSSVILLE – Students at Ridgeland High School will be able to train with an EKG machine beginning this fall. The Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education, a nonprofit that connects leaders from schools, governments and businesses, awarded Ridgeland $3,500 last week to purchase the machine.
Matt Harris, the coordinator for innovation at Walker County Schools, said students in the Diagnostic Technology in Healthcare pathway will be able to use the EKG machine. This will be part of their training. The school will also work with Georgia Northwestern Technical College to help the students become certified to use the EKG machine, allowing them to potentially work in hospitals.
The Walker County Chamber of Commerce helped the school system secure the grant.
