St. Charles Community Schools

The STC high school student council is hosting a canned food and hygiene products drive from November 1st to November 22nd. Each class has designated items to donate, and community members can donate items to the school or businesses around town. All donations will stay within the community. Let's all do our part and make a positive impact! If you have any questions, please contact Trina Kohagen, the STC Student Council Advisor, at kohagenc@stccs.org.

STC is excited to announce that the College of Medicine, of Central Michigan University, is offering a program to install additional AED units in our buildings in partnership with the Fordney Club. The existing AED units provide us with peace of mind, and adding a few more will only increase our resources during a medical emergency. We would like to express our gratitude to Steve Vance, MD of the College of Medicine at Central Michigan University, and his associate Arnav Sharma for taking the time to meet with Superintendent Mark Benson and Athletic Director Ashley Schlager. We would also like to thank the Fordney Club for their generous partnership to provide AED units to districts across the county. An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated yet easy-to-use medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock or defibrillation to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
