Kickapoo High School was recognized at the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks' Volunteer Banquet.
The high school was recognized as one of the organization's Aspire Award winners for the school's outstanding efforts in supporting blood donations.
Last year, the school hosted four blood drives, collecting 293 donations.
"Service above self is the first thing I think of when I think of our students and our blood drives," said KHS principal Dr. Bill Powers. "Taking one hour to donate blood for those in need, right here in the Ozarks, ultimately can help extend the life of an unknown person due to selfless act of being a blood donor. I'm so proud of all our students and staff who help plan, volunteer and donate the gift of life at Kickapoo."
