  • #UCPSGrads: Porter Ridge High senior prepares to make her mark in the medical field

    When you were in high school, what was your dream job? Perhaps some kind of professional athlete or a musician, or maybe an actor or a pilot. For the past four years, Porter Ridge High senior Dakota Douglas has been laser-focused on taking the necessary steps to reach her dream job: a pediatric oncologist. โ€œIโ€™m really interested in health disparities because I have a grandmother who is blind and an older brother who has autism, so Iโ€™m really sensitive to the different social issues and stigmas that they can encounter,โ€ Dakota said, sitting at a table in her schoolโ€™s media center. โ€œIn the best capacity, I can serve as a provider who is aware of these issues and make a direct impact by being a leader over different teams that help to serve different populations.โ€

  • PR blood drives set record this year!

    On a day to day basis people rarely think about the need for donated blood. Natural disasters, severe weather situations and declines in donations often cause nationwide blood shortages. That's why the Porter Ridge High School Interact Club teams up each fall and spring with the Red Cross to hold blood drives at school. โ€œDonating blood is a vital chance to directly save lives. It's such an important part of our hospitals and healthcare systems that we can easily contribute to,โ€ Interact Club Sponsor Becky Craig commented.
