On Feb. 24, Carmel Clay Schools (CCS) recognized a team of CHS staff members for their quick actions in saving the life of printer technician Brad Holdcraft, who suffered a heart attack while working at CHS. According to Superintendent Michael Beresford, Holdcraft attended the board meeting to personally thank those who helped him.

Beresford said, “We honored all the people from CHS that were involved in the incident.

It was amazing to see that he was okay now after spending time in the hospital.”

Senior Eesha Singh said the staff’s efforts were inspiring.
