Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs like the Health Science Academy at Gateway Academy give students in Christian County the opportunity to turn classroom learning into real-world skills. Ms. Rank’s classes are a perfect example of how these programs prepare scholars for both college and career success.
In Medical Terminology, students are starting the year by practicing team-building strategies before diving into the challenging work of learning the roots and meanings of medical words. This foundation not only sharpens their academic skills but also fosters collaboration—an essential quality for healthcare professionals.
Meanwhile, in Phlebotomy, students are going beyond textbooks by acting out skits of legal scenarios like torts. These interactive lessons allow them to build knowledge in a way that is both fun and meaningful, helping scholars understand the responsibilities and ethics of the medical field while also reinforcing hands-on learning.
Programs like these highlight the strength of CTE in Christian County: connecting students’ learning to life after high school. From building teamwork to applying knowledge through role-play and hands-on practice, CTE programs empower students with both technical skills and the soft skills employers seek.
As Gateway Academy prepares to transition into the new Christian County High School in the fall of 2026, opportunities in Health Science and other CTE pathways will only continue to grow. These scholars represent the next generation of future healthcare heroes, and their journey is just beginning.
