What is the purpose of this class?
The purpose of this class is to learn about the different body systems and healthcare careers.

What areas of study do you cover?
Anything and everything healthcare related. Just to name a few: vital signs, careers, body systems, how to build a resume.

What are some projects you have done this year? Describe them in detail, if possible.
We did a “Glo Germ” lab. The students put a lotion called Glo Germ on their hands. They had to go around the room touching different surfaces. Then we used a black light to see where the “germs” transferred. After that, they had to wash their hands, then use the black light to see how well they washed the “germs” off.

What are the different Health Science classes students can take?
Principles of Health Science, Health Science Theory, and their senior year they can choose Medical Assistant/Certified Nurse Assistant/Emergency Medical Technician

How does this class prepare students for the future?
It gives them the foundation they need to enter nursing school or whatever healthcare path they may choose.

What does a typical day look like in a Health Science class?
We usually start with medical terminology, take some notes followed by a quiz. I try to incorporate some type of hands on project or fun.

Is there anything else you would like to add about the Health Science program?
We have an exciting addition to our program next year and I can’t wait to share it with everyone!
