West High School – Emergency Medical Technician

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Emergency Medical Technicians are part of one of the three public safety divisions (EMS, Fire & Law Enforcement). Their job includes the daily routine of dealing with crisis, trauma, hazardous materials, illness, injuries and the training to handle mass causality situations, disaster management and terrorism awareness. The work they do often means the difference between life and death. Although the job can be stressful, EMT’s and Paramedics enjoy the challenge and excitement of their jobs and view them as an opportunity to make a real difference. This one-year program meets the sequential elective requirement. Juniors who successfully complete EMT may be invited to return as a senior for EMT II. There are a very limited number of EMT II seats. Locations New Horizons Butler Farm Campus Only
