Avera Academy & Sanford Classroom to Careers

Current juniors have the opportunity to apply for two different programs called  Avera Academy or Sanford Classrooms to Careers for their senior year in high school. They're programs geared toward students interested in a career in healthcare.

Students have the opportunity to:
