Students Save A Detroit High School Teacher’s Life After Heart Attack
Thank goodness, these students knew CPR!
CPR is an important skill that everyone across the world should know.
Thankfully for this Detroit teacher, two of his students had recently learned the life-saving skill.

What Happened To Detroit High School Teacher?
The Oak Park High School physical education teacher, Alfred Kattola, started feeling a little off during a student-teacher basketball game.
After feeling strange for a few minutes, Kattola collapsed in the gym and had a heart attack.
Two of Kattola's students, Isreal DuBose and Correy Coleman, jumped into action and started performing CPR.
Before this moment, the two teenagers had only just learned CPR a few months prior.
The two worked together to get their teacher breathing and conscious again. They even had to utilize the AED pads so that they could shock their P.E. teacher.
Once the teens used the AED, they were able to get Kattola's heartbeat restarted. Finally, the paramedics arrived at the gym and were able to get Kattola to a local hospital.
After Kattola was stable and healthy, he thanked the girls for saving his life. It is quite an inspiring moment since DuBose and Coleman, both want to pursue medical careers.
Kattola is also planning to support the two teenagers in funding their upcoming college journeys.
