Career Preparation

Students will gain the skills needed for high-wage medical careers, with opportunities to earn Industry Recognized Credentials and pursue college degrees in the medical field.

Foundational Courses

9th and 10th graders will engage in hands-on Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses such as Human Body Systems, Intro to Health Science Careers, and Medical Terminology. 

Pathway Options

In 11th and 12th grade, students can choose from:

  • College in the High School Pathway: Earn college credits towards a two- or four-year degree in the medical field. 

Students will have access to guest speakers, job shadowing, internships, and work-based learning opportunities. We are currently working to secure an industry partner to support the development and launch of this new program.  

Work-Based Learning with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health 

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health will provide guest speakers, field trips, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and mentorship. VMFH will also serve as a clinical site for students in the Nursing Assistant pathway, offering required hands-on training.
