Beyond the actual “boots on the ground” efforts, OHMCH supports the schools through grants and sponsorships. Some of the recent projects that have been funded include: » » Muhlenberg County High School (MCHS) Band Boosters » » MCHS Athletics Level of Support 1 » » MCHS Softball backstop padding » » Felix E. Martin Jr. Hall Producer-Level sponsorship » » MCHS FFA National Competition sponsorship » » Bremen Family Resource Center — Family Fun Night » » Muhlenberg South Middle School — Family Fair Night » » Longest Elementary School — wheelchair » » MCHS — Project Prom Beyond the classroom OHMCH provides an athletic trainer for the school sports teams. Ray Carroll, MA, ATC, attends each sporting event to treat injuries as they arise. In the case of severe injuries, OHMCH emergency medical services (EMS) provides an ambulance at each KHSAA event. Recently, OHMCH EMS provided Stop the Bleed training to local schools and put first aid kits designed to stop bleeding in each facility. It is the hope of all involved that this training and these kits will never need to be utilized. However, Mr. Davis does not take the responsibility of student safety lightly. He continues to build a relationship with local law enforcement, as well as EMS, to be prepared for any situation that could arise. Superintendent Davis is appreciative of the programs that OHMCH brings to the students because, without that support, it might not be possible to give the students all of the advantages they currently have. OHMCH EMS delivered Stop the Bleed kits to all Muhlenberg County schools — but not before stopping by the board office to give Mr. Davis a quick tutorial.
