The Academy of Health Science and Human Services (HS & HS)
About
The HS & HS Academy offers amazing opportunities for those who have a passion for helping others. In the Health Science Pathway students take part in interactive learning experiences across many in-demand fields. This pathway is rigorous, yet rewarding, as students leave with several certifications to guide them into the future. The Human Services pathway, while encompassing many elements, has a strong focus on building future educators. With a, “Grow Our Own,” motto, we hope to train and recruit from within.
