School of Health Professions

 

The School of Health Professions is dedicated to student success. The school serves an ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse student population. Health Professions offers a college preparatory curriculum in conjunction with a career and technology component that prepares students for college and the workforce through state-of-the-art equipment, up-to-date practices, and innovative programs. Both curricula are designed to meet the challenges of the new millennium. Students are encouraged and challenged to pursue higher academic pursuits through the Recommended or Distinguished Achievement Graduation Plans. These requirements coincide with the school's and district’s college-bound mission.

 

The School of Health Professions is unique in that it provides students with practical experience through internships at various health-care facilities that coincide with the cluster they have chosen to study. Students participate in these internships while maintaining high academic standards.
