Lincolnâs newest school on the northwest edge of town will include a health sciences focus program, a collaboration with Bryan College of Health Sciences to offer dual-credit courses and a gateway into a variety of medical fields.
âThis presents an incredible opportunity for our students to start out on a pathway toward some careers in medical sciences,â said Matt Larson, Lincoln Public Schools associate superintendent for instruction.
The new high school will include two labs similar to those at the Bryan college, where students can get certified as nurse assistants and learn anatomy and physiology.
A hallmark of the new program will be dual-credit courses in anatomy and physiology, with access to the cadaver labs at Bryan, said James Blake, director of strategic initiatives and focus programs at LPS.
