HS2 opened it's doors in Fall 2007 with a 9th grade class. In 2008/09 HS2 served students in grades 6, 9, and 10 and will add additional grades each year, serving middle grades 6 and 7 plus high school grades 9, 10, and 11 in 2009/10. By 2010/11, HS2 will serve students in grades 6-12. HS2 is open to all students with an interest in science and medicine. It is a powerful learning community in a small school setting for students from all social, cultural and economic backgrounds. As a part of this college prep program, students learn in small, teacher-led investigative teams that foster communication, engagement, research skills, critical thinking and problem-solving. Students will be able to earn college credit in grades 11 and 12 and will be prepared to pursue a career in the science and health professions. In addition, there are opportunities for health career certification courses after school and during the evening for seniors at HS2. HS2 seniors will also participate in internship rotations at local hospitals, medical facilities and research labs. Contact: HS2 503.533.1853.
