The road to success for any high school students with aspirations of pursuing a medical degree and profession.

Many of our students have taken on the responsibility of planning and implementing a myriad of science related events on campus such as our annual STEAM event and Science Fair.  We have students that are now attending Ivy League and prominent UC's/CSU's.
