H.E.R.O. High (Health, Education, and Research Occupations High School)

Overview written by the school: At HERO High, students learn how to save lives and serve their communities by preparing for a career as a registered nurse or community health worker. Students take college classes starting in 10th grade and can earn a two-year Associate Degree with help from a small school environment. Our academic program prepares every student to succeed in college and career through hands-on, real-world problem solving, advanced work in math and science, and challenging reading and writing tasks in every class. Start your technical training early through internships in clinical nursing and community health work. Sometimes even heroes need extra help, so we offer tutoring in every subject area.
