CPR - A Texas High School Graduation Requirement




This is music to Living for Zachary's ears! Now - CPR is a required course of knowledge for all high school graduates.  This means that we are another step closer in bringing Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness to all and everyone will be able to pitch in and do their part.


There is a CPR Training Kit that is easy to use and is designed for the schools. This kit contains everything that a trainer would need to train 10 plus children. This CPR training kit can be moved from one location such as the gym to another such as a cafeteria. Texas is No Doubt creating the next generation of lifesavers.


The HB 897 ensures that every single young adult graduating high school will now be equipped with the knowledge of saving a life. In June 2013 Texas Governor Rick Perry signed this into law and therefore making it possible for every single graduate to be able to save a life and make a difference. 

Is your state participating in this High School CPR Training? There is a map outlining which states are now requiring CPR for High School graduates and which states are still in the works.  (right)
