Sugar Land City Council honors Kempner High School’s Health Science Technology Class

FORT BEND ISD ― The Sugar Land City Council honored 22 students in Kempner High School’s Health Science Technology class on April 6 at the City of Sugar Land City Council Meeting. The students have won President Barack Obama’s White House Silver Eagle citation for harvesting a record number of units of blood (319) in the fall 2009. Many of the units were transferred to the servicemen and women who were injured by gunfire at Fort Hood, and the remainder were kept at St. Luke’s Hospital, functioning to save lives. The students designed a blood campaign that was a county record for one day. Jonathan Nguyen and Kristina Leong presided over the campus blood drive, under the direction of Dr. Jeff Ricken, instructor.
