Health Academy

New for 2023-2024 School Year! 

The Health Academy is a unique opportunity for students to explore various health career fields and continue in a health care pathway that aligns with their short- and long-term goals. You will spend the first semester learning fundamental skills in effective, safe patient care and building your medical vocabulary. You also will prepare to certify as a State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA). STNAs work in a settings like patient homes, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, clinics, adult daycare centers, and assisted living facilities.

At the semester break, you will choose one of two pathways. In the Health Technology program (see page 50), you prepare for certification in high-demand areas like patient care technician, medical assistant, phlebotomist, or EKG technician.

If eligible for Secondary Practical Nursing, you will learn fundamentals in patient care, data collection, human development, pharmacology, and medication administration. You will apply these skills in a real-world clinical setting. The Secondary Practical Nursing pathway prepares you to take the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-PN). Passing the exam results in certification as a licensed practical nurse (LPN). 

 
Learn to:
 
  • Assist physicians with medical procedures.
  • Take vital signs and learn pharmacology.
