Washougal students learn life-saving skills

Washougal High School health students were recently trained in skills to help save lives.

Thanks to House Bill 1556, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) instruction is already a statewide graduation requirement, which is typically taught in high school health classes. These Washougal students decided to take their knowledge one step further and pursue their CPR and First Aid certification. Local businesses donated to the efforts and covered the students’ testing fees.
