The Health Science Academy is looking for ideas for a health science related book for our students to read this summer (2012).  If you have read something that you feel our students would enjoy and benefit from, please send an email to Mrs. Russell at tami.russell@knoxschools.org with the title, author, and a bit about the book and why you feel it would be a good title for our students to read.  Thanks!

Above is a link that will allow you to access information about Dr. Bass, the author of the Health Science Academy summer reading assignment. Check it out!

All Health Science students will read Death's Acre by Dr. Bill Bass--the story of the University of Tennessee's body farm.  Dr Bass writes in a clear and enjoyable way – he’s one of those writers who can convey a difficult and somewhat morbid day job into a fascinating learning experience for the reader.  Students will have a test on the book and activities/discussions relevant to their reading when they return to school in the fall.  Enjoy!

Each Monday will be Scrubs Day for all Health Science Academy students and staff.  Wear your scrubs to show others that you are proud to be a member of the Health Science Academy!

Information and Forms

Here are a few of the Fall 2011 Senior Portfolio powerpoint presentations for you to look at as you prepare these. They are not included as perfect examples, so be sure to follow your instructions and rubric. However, this may give you some ideas about what looks great and what you feel you can improve upon.
