On April 3, HOSA will be partnering with Impact Life for FHN’S annual blood drive. The blood drive will take place in the small gym. Students and staff alike are encouraged to donate; however, those under 16 are unable to donate. If a student is 16 they must have a parent signed consent form. Christopher Dalton is the FHN coordinator for the blood drive and sponsor of the HOSA program.

“Blood is something that is always in need, there’s always going to be surgeries or other processes that require large amounts of blood,” Dalton said. “You need to have a continuous cycle of blood coming in, because it’s not something that can be stored for very long.” and faculty sponsor for MAC Scholars, Ashley Seiss says.

The MAC Scholars program provides students with resources to help them get into the college and career they want, such as ACT prep books, guest speakers, and college admissions panels. It focuses on empowering students through its four pillarsLeadership, Service, Scholarship, and Excellence.

“I would say you’re going to have to put in a lot of work and make sure you attend the meetings to really get something out of it,” freshman Jasmyne Moody said. “It’ll help you a lot in the long run.”
