May 27 - Mechanicsville Volunteer Rescue Squad was invited to stand by for the commencement of the Graduating Class of 2009 from Chopticon High School on Wednesday May 27, 2009. This year was the first time the Chopticon High School used the arena at St. Mary's College in St. Mary's City.

Chopticon High School is located in a farming community of Morganza and over the years Chopticon High School has earn it's name as "Home of the Braves" as echoed by the graduates during the last line of the National Anthem. It was very over whelming to hear such pride in their school and the national anthem. Chopticon High School is located near the town Chaptico which is where author of the Star Spangle Banner, Francis Scott Key, was raised as a child. His parents resided in Choptico area till their natural death. Chopticon High School is located in an area that was home to the American Indians before being settled by immigrants form England. The Indians lived on the shores of the Wicomico River and that is why the school's mascot is the Braves, which has become part of the motto “Home of the Braves” for Chopticon High School.

This year MVRS is proud to have our own members walk and receive their Maryland State Diploma from Principle Garth Bowling. Our graduates are EMT-B Salina Buitron, EMT-B Danielle Irvin, EMT-B Ashley Sampson and Drew Ehnen. Some of our graduates have attended the Dr. James A. Forrest Technical Center’s Fire and Rescue course. This course is a one year course which is taught by the University of Maryland and the students have the opportunity to receive their EMT-B Certification, Fire Fighter I & II, Rescue Technician, and Incident Command courses. They also receive other courses of instructions in other fire fighting and leadership subjects too. Salina completed the course in her junior year and Ashley completed the course in her senior year.

The success of these graduates and all the graduating class is a credit to their parents, family, educators and the entire community supporting them through 13 years of education, kindergarten though 12th grade. A job well done to all and again, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GRADUATES.
