Your donation made a direct and meaningful impact.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, students were able to learn and practice critical life-saving measures, including bleeding control, hemorrhage management, and emergency response skills. These are not just classroom lessons—they are practical, hands-on skills that students can carry with them for the rest of their lives.\r\n\r\nFor many of these students, this training was their first exposure to real-world emergency medical care and decision-making under pressure. The confidence and competence they developed through this program may one day allow them to step in during a crisis and save a life—whether that life belongs to a family member, a friend, or a complete stranger.\r\n\r\nYour support helped empower young people with knowledge, responsibility, and the ability to make a difference when seconds matter most. We are deeply grateful for your belief in this program and in the potential of these students.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in education that truly matters and for helping prepare the next generation with skills that extend far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762359074625,"projectUrl":"project/tactical-combat-casualty-care-training-f/9725789/","projectTitle":"Tactical Combat Casualty Care Training for High School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Birely","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10268597_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1766421966216","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10268597"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42874","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1076,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":42874,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Palisade High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Palisade High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/mesa-county-valley-school-district-51/palisade-high-school/42874"}
