A Diploma That Matters
We created Health Sciences High as a place where young people could learn about health and health care, while receiving a world-class education in a safe and supportive environment.
Health Sciences High is a home away from home, an open door, and a place of rigor and academia – where students earn a diploma that matters. We do what it takes, we do no harm, we set no limits on our potential to learn and grow. Here, we are all family – and we love what we do!
