Moreno said he would go to classes in Mesa in the morning and then return to Gilbert for regular high school. I had to come in on weekends, I had to come to school early to get extra studying done, Moreno said.
At East Valley Institute, he studied to become an EMT. The 17-year-old has received many accolades, including being inducted into the National Technical Honor Society and winning a top mark in an EMT competition.
Perhaps his best accomplishment of all is saving his grandfather s life after he fell.

I-17 closed in both directions north of State Route 179, as did State Route 89A north of Sedona, making it nearly impossible to reach Flagstaff from the Verde Valley. State Route 89A also closed down between Clarkdale and Jerome.
