Allied Health
Overview
In the Allied Health tech prep program, students must possess compassion and the desire to help others; they must also have good attendance, 100 community service hours and strong science and math skills. Our students will gain a wealth of knowledge in the field of health care.
Students will be able to use the foundation of anatomy and physiology, basic health care, effective communication, professionalism and leadership skills to further their post secondary studies at local community colleges, technical schools and universities. These foundational skills can prepare students to explore the career pathways of nursing, medicine, diagnostics, and environmental sciences.
