Health Science

According to US News and World Report Top 100 Jobs, 52 of the top 100 careers are in healthcare or healthcare support. With over 250 careers in the Health Science field, the possibilities are endless. The Health Science Career Cluster is divided into three different pathways: Nursing Services, Therapeutic Services, and Sport and Human Performance.

Health Science Education is the foundation course for the Health Science Cluster and is a prerequisite for all additional courses. Anatomy & Physiology is a required upper level course for all pathways. A & P is designed to develop an understanding of the structures and functions of the human body, while relating those to knowledge and skills associated with pathophysiology.


With many healthcare careers expected to experience a significant shortage of trained staff, students can prepare to enter the job market or pursue continuing education in a healthcare field during their high school experience.
