Brianna Harmon, a junior at North Branch High School, is set to put her Criminal Justice skills to the test, while classmate Victoria Hatfield, a Lapeer High School senior, will compete in First Responder\/CPR.<\/p>\n<p>The national SkillsUSA competition will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on June 20-24. Program teacher Matthew Rule said both students are on a \u201cquest\u201d to earn gold medals in Atlanta, but are reaching out to the community to raise money to cover travel expenses. As of Friday, the Public Safety Program has raised $1,130 of the $3,000 goal. \u201c(Community) support will help get two very hardworking, deserving students to compete at the national level,\u201d said Rule. \u201cThese students will represent the Lapeer community and the state of Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_276342\" style=\"width: 212px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1873703808\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"276340\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-276342\" alt=\"Victoria Hatfield, a senior at Lapeer High School, hopes to put her Medical First Responder skills to the test next month in Atlanta and is helping the Ed-Tech Public Safety Careers program to fundraise for the trip.\" width=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-400x595.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2.jpg 478w\" src=\"https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-202x300.jpg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" class=\"wp-image-276342 size-medium lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-276342\" class=\"wp-image-276342 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-202x300.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria Hatfield, a senior at Lapeer High School, hopes to put her Medical First Responder skills to the test next month in Atlanta and is helping the Ed-Tech Public Safety Careers program to fundraise for the trip.\" width=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-400x595.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/thecountypress.mihomepaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/2022-05-22\/8p2.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-276342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Victoria Hatfield, a senior at Lapeer High School, hopes to put her Medical First Responder skills to the test next month in Atlanta and is helping the Ed-Tech Public Safety Careers program to fundraise for the trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s been a long road for Harmon and Hatfield to earn a spot at the national competition. First, the pair along with their program peers at Ed-Tech competed at the local level, then headed to regionals held at Delta College. Next up was a competition at the state level, held at Grand Rapids. \u201cBoth students have amazing stories and have overcome a lot to get to this level,\u201d said Rule.<\/p>\n<p>The program has held a number of small fundraisers, such as popcorn sales, but is hoping an online fundraiser will prompt community members to contribute to sending the pair of students to Atlanta next month.
