Decatur High School

Decatur High School sponsors four blood drives for Cascade Regional Blood Services each school year and is always one of the first. This is especially appreciated since the summer months are very challenging and school drives help us collect the units needed to keep our inventories at a safe level for our community.

2011–2012 School Year

November 16, 2011

Decatur High School and their blood drive sponsor group FCCLA had an outstanding blood drive on November 16! The Gators exceeded their goal by registering 74 donors; 36 were first time donors. Big thanks to Heather White, FCCLA advisor and all the FCCLA officers and blood drive volunteers. Everything went extremely well thanks to your commitment, teamwork, organization and enthusiasm! 

This was Decatur’s 2nd blood drive of the 2011/12 school year! Special thanks to Principal, Tom Leacy and Sue Inglis, school nurse. We appreciate the support from Decatur’s administration, staff and all the GATORS who took the time to donate. Blood drives at Decatur High School directly support St. Francis Hospital and our other community hospitals.

We are looking forward to our next blood drive at Decatur on February 28, 2012; sponsored by Key Club.

September 22, 2011


On Thursday, September 22, DHS kicked off its first blood drive of the school year. The GATORS registered 48 blood donors, with 34 new first time donors for CRBS and our community! Special thanks to Robin Chapman, DHS Key Club faculty advisor and blood drive coordinator! Robin has been committed to the success of blood drives at DHS for several years and does a great job with the students and the program. CRBS appreciates the ongoing support of Decatur’s administration, staff and the many students who take time to generously donate during their blood drives. Their donations directly support St. Francis and our other area hospitals.

We are looking forward to our next Decatur blood drive on November 17, which will be sponsored by FCCLA. Blood donors really do save lives.
