Liberty Creek Schools Earn Heart Safe School
Liberty Creek Elementary, Liberty Creek Middle and Liberty Creek High School have earned the "Heart Safe School" designation by Project ADAM and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. In order to receive this prestigious achievement, all three schools had to pass several requirements including AED drills, staff training and a cardiac emergency plan.
Sumner County Schools achieved Heart Safe School designation in 2018 from Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, becoming one of the first school districts in Tennessee to receive this distinction. ALL Sumner County Schools have earned this distinction.
Developing and running effective AED drills are an essential part of a school's emergency plan. Knowing what to do and how to do it can save a life of a student, parent, or school employee. Every school in Sumner County has multiple members that are part of a School Emergency Team (S.E.T.) These teachers, administrators and staff members are trained and tested in CPR, Heimlich, and AED usage.
Every year, we surprise S.E.T. members by creating a realistic scenario and they are timed and tested to ensure they can give appropriate care until an ambulance arrives. To become a S.E.T. member, you must complete several hours of training outside of school hours. The next time you see a S.E.T. member, let them know they are appreciated. They do not receive any compensation for this job duty.
