On Thursday, students from Mills High, Mills Middle, Daisy Bates, Landmark, College Station, and Harris gathered at Mills Stadium for an unforgettable MedFlight Career Exploration Experience.

From watching the MedFlight Little Rock helicopter make a grand entrance on the football field to stepping inside the aircraft, students got a front-row look at life-saving careers in healthcare and emergency medical aviation.

Students engaged directly with the flight crew, explored career paths with student ambassadors from the Achieve Community Alliance Academy of Leadership & Social Services, and met MUSHS health science teacher Mr. Malone’s brother, who helped coordinate the visit.
