The Academy of Health Careers at Lafayette High School is a program of instruction that ensures students selecting a career in health care have opportunities to meet their career and educational goals and are prepared to meet the demands of a rapidly changing professional world.  The following are elements of the program:  partnerships with health care professional agencies; mentors and guest speakers to motivate and encourage students; a School-to-Career emphasis that allows students to see the relevance of school and the "real world" of professional health care; cohort scheduling (teaming with academy teachers in math, science, and their health academy elective) with a sense of caring and support from academy peers and faculty; and an integrated, focused curriculum where multiple courses work in collaboration to make connections with academic materials and health care issues.
