Students have been able to become certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR for many years. The last three years data is included in the chart. However, the only data kept was the students who actually certified, not those who started but did not finish the certification. During the 2008 -2009 school year, the Advanced Animal Science students were able to certify in the National Association of Professional Pet Sitting. The data for that year is included in the chart as well. Data on disabilities, LEP and economically disadvantaged were not available through our databases.

Sample student competency records from the 2009 - 2010 school year are attached. They are in the CanDo format and there is one from each of the classes.
