With a mask and gloves on, Pine Tree Center student Tyler Krueger made a triumphant return to school today.

The Lake Orion student returned to school Monday for the first time since September, following a historic heart transplant.

Krueger was the very first person with Down Syndrome to receive a total heart transplant at Henry Ford Hospital.

Greeted by staff and students, Krueger stormed the school.
