The in-person panelists focused on sticking to school work, making it to graduation, and asking for help when needed. Graduate Sydney Derrig, who is currently looking for work, and Logan Schwieger, who is about to graduate from Iowa Central, both talked about losing close family members and how they overcame it.

These services are available from CHC through Medicaid, private insurance, or a sliding fee scale for families who are underinsured or uninsured. By offering care at school, we help remove barriers that might prevent students from getting the dental care they need. Parents don’t have to take time off work, and students miss less class time. Plus, receiving care in a familiar environment can help students feel more at ease, especially when they see classmates doing the same.
We’re grateful for this partnership and the positive impact it has on the health and well-being of our students.


Students received EMS scenarios and had to complete full reports using the same documentation format used by Fort Dodge Fire. Judges Chief Matt Price and EMS Supervisor Terry Evans reviewed each report and gave valuable feedback to help students sharpen their skills.
After a tiebreaker, Grace Nichols and Brandt Lawler took the win!
