Becky Sproul, a flight paramedic with Flight for Life, talks about her job with Durango High School students on Wednesday after the helicopter landed behind the school on the baseball field. The students are in career and technical education health care pathway courses that were started in 2019 by DHS teacher Kyle Montgomery. The program is meant to help students pursue their passion and get an accurate depiction of what working in a medical profession looks like. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
