Mission

Our mission is to provide our students with the tools necessary to prepare them for the 21st century workforce or to earn their college degree by teaching them how to be critical thinkers, innovators, problem solvers, collaborators and team players. To do this, we personalize our lessons and integrate core disciplines to better understand and develop solutions to relevant problems in the health care industry. Teachers link content standards to current trends and topics in health sciences and human services, providing students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to authentic, real-world problems.

important career skills.
