HEALTH SCIENCE PATHWAY

Herington High School offers the Health Science Pathway to prepare students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the health care industry by partnering with the higher education organizations, health care industry, community members, and professional organizations.

This pathway is intended for the students interested in obtaining a career in the health care profession (ex.: nurse, physician, dental hygienist, veterinarian, and more). Students must posses leadership skills and willingness for personal growth as we encourage students to join and take part in the organization Health Occupations Students of American (HOSA).

We have partnered with Butler County Community College to offer the Certified Nurses Assistant certification to be taken as a dual credit option. Certified Medication Aide (CMA) is also available via dual credit option for students who have completed CNA and are 18 years old. There will be no charge for tuition (SB150) however students are responsible for other fees (textbook, test fee, other).

This pathway will prepare students to enter the workforce ready to participate as leaders in a broad range of careers and further their education.

Recommended course sequence is proposed in the brochure above. Courses are designed to build on each other and should be taken in the order specified.

For more information on dual credit courses and other potential health-science related courses, please visit with the high school counselor.
