Student Spotlight: Eden Johnson

Hi I'm Eden Johnson, and I founded Houston Hearts Club. So Houston Hearts Club serves as a student emergency response team here at Houston High School, and so far we are the only student Emergency Response Team to be recognized in the state of Tennessee. I created Houston Hearts Club because through social media I saw that Collierville had started implementing Project Adam into their school due to the loss of a fellow community member and his name was Lawson Weary, and it really just inspired me to implement more safety procedures into schools, so I thought that we should do something like that and come together as a community. It was just a few days ago that GMSD became a completely Project Adam certified District. Project Adam is a national organization that teaches people about sudden cardiac arrest, and it helps implement safety procedures such as CPR training and AED use into schools all over the country. I would love to shoutout Mr. Martin or his full name is Andrew Martin. He helps with the school coordinated Health around here, and he works with GMSD, and he is really what helped me get this started because after all I am just a high schooler at the end of the day, so I can't do all of it by myself, and he really helped me put my passions into play.
