Clear Creek Independent School District recognizes students, employees

The Harris Family and CCISD nurses reunite.

Clear Creek Independent School District recognizes students and employees Dec. 17, including two district nurses.

According to a district release, "Jerri Stepp and Pam Alford are credited with saving the life of four-month-old Jhordyn Harris."

Stepp and Alford were on duty Nov. 26 at Clear View Education Center in Webster. Normally, the two of them divide health needs at 44 CCISD campuses, but at approximately 3 p.m. on this day they were both at Clear View. Across the street, Jovan Harris was picking up her children at McWhirter Elementary with her newborn, Jhordyn, when the baby stopped breathing.  Harris quickly ran to Clear View. Stepp and Alford were able to perform CPR and resuscitate the infant.

The CCISD Board of Trustees also recognized a group of 15 educators who have joined the ranks of the nation’s most accomplished teachers. Winners of the annual Holiday Card Design contest were also announced.
