Health Science Career Cluster®

The Health Science program of study launched nearly 35 years ago at  Henderson County High School in Henderson, KY, has grown from only one pathway with two instructors to three pathways with five instructors. It serves more than 500 learners, becoming one of the largest CTE programs of study in the state. As learners progress through the program, they can focus on one of the following areas: Allied Health, Pre-Nursing and Medical Administrative Assistant. Regardless of their focus area, all seniors are required to participate in one of the work-based learning experiences offered at 47 local healthcare facilities such as Redbanks Nursing Home, Deaconess Health System, Methodist Hospital, and St. Anthony’s Hospice. Through dual credit courses, health science learners can earn up to 12 college credits, as well as five industry-recognized credentials, ensuring learners are ready to continue their education or enter the workplace.
