HEALTH SCIENCE PATHWAY
DESIGNATED INNOVATION PATHWAY
The integration of rigorous academics, inquiry-based science instruction, and applied learning laboratories for developing and strengthening students’ science, math, and literacy skills will create an environment within which students can master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them to succeed in college and in a career in the health sciences. The goal of the program is to expose our students to a variety of laboratory based courses that promote active engagement in content material.
