August 6, 2019 - A donation of $5,000 in memory of Requanah Santifer to the Roughrider Scholarship Foundation (RSF) was commemorated with a plaque presentation in front of the Catherine Pinkston Roughrider Scholarship Foundation display case in the front hallway of Center High School.
Requanah Netherly Santifer attended Center ISD graduating with the Class of 1988. She later returned to Center ISD as a teacher. She passed away May 2, 2016 at the age of 45.

The donation provides a perpetual scholarship to a graduating senior each year forward.

Nacogdoches Medical Center Teaching Life-saving Techniques
August 6, 2019 Nacogdoches – A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. That’s why it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene.
"Stop the Bleed" is a nationwide campaign to encourage, empower and equip bystanders to act quickly until professional help arrives. Bystanders can take simple steps to keep the injured person alive until appropriate medical care is available.
Texas House Bill 496 recently passed legislation requiring bleeding control training at all public schools. Nacogdoches Medical Center (NMC) is hosting Stop the Bleed courses at area schools to train employees in the latest life-saving techniques.
“We have had such amazing feedback from these courses,” said Chris Klingenberg, MD, clinical director of emergency services for NMC. “We have reached over 17 different schools and two police stations in just two days. After attending the course, high school employees, from security officers to nursing staff, walked away with hands-on bleeding control skills that they can share with their students.”
Additional Stop the Bleed classes are scheduled at NMC for the Fall.
- August 22 – 5pm to 7pm
- September 26 – 5pm to 7pm
- October 17 – 5pm to 7pm
- November 14 – 5pm – 7pm
- December 12 – 5pm – 7pm
