| Profile: |
The Onate High School Jr. Medical Reserve Corps is being developed as a pilot project for implementing Jr. MRC units across the state of New Mexico in accordance with the HST School Resiliency Piolet Project. The purpose of the OHS Jr. MRC is to educate and prepare young adults in the Las Cruces area to be productive members of the local emergency response team, educate their peers and the community at large in how to prepare for emergencies, and act as a model for other possible Jr. MRC units in NM. This unit will partner with the NM MRC, Alamogordo High School Jr MRC, New Mexico State University-Las Cruces, White Sands Missle Range, local emergency management members, and other county agencies to ensure comprehensive preparation for students who will become an integral part of the community disaster response team. All members of the present Health Occupations program will be active members of the unit. Members will be certified in CPR, as First Responders, through the MedStart Academy programs of study. Advanced students will become instructors of CPR and First Responders in order to certify their peers in the program. A classroom curriculum is being developed for the Health Occupations I course that will include disaster management and preparedness training. This first year curriculum will be the foundation of the OHS Jr. MRC program. We believe that high school students will be able to affect and train members of the community that are not readily accessible to or willing to participate with other emergency preparedness teams.

The students in the Health Care Occupations B class had the opportunity to teach handwashing skills to the low incidence special education population at our high school. This activity was chosen because of the recent outbreak of H1N1 (swine flu)
