Hays CISD graduates first Fire Academy class in Kyle

Growing up, Lehman High senior Cameron Saucedo had an inkling of what career path he’d eventually seek.

After watching his father serve with the Kyle Fire Department (KFD) for many years, Saucedo naturally envisioned following his footsteps into the public service sector.

Through Hays CISD’s two-year Fire Academy course, Saucedo and a handful of others are on the precipice of turning that dream into reality. On June 5, Hays CISD and KFD celebrated the graduation of Class Alpha, the program’s inaugural group of students in the program, which provides students training and instruction necessary for a career in emergency services.
