College Tech prep is a high school and college career path linked to business, industry and labor that insures a specified seamless pathway from high school to college to careers, meeting Ohio’s technological employment needs.

Health Science Technology is a 2-year College Tech Prep program that prepares students for a range of health care and related careers. By integrating academic and technical instruction, it better prepares the student to continue their education at a two-year college, enter a hospital sponsored nursing program or pursue a baccalaureate degree at a four-year college.

This program follows a state approved Technical Competency Profile (TCP) developed by the Lorain County Tech Prep Consortium. With these guidelines and the support of Lorain County Community College, a unique high school experience will prepare the student with the needed background and skills in order to succeed in the health care field of their choice.

It is recommended students carry a 2.75 GPA, complete Algebra I and Biology with a “B” or better average and have passed all sections of the Ohio Graduation test by the end of the junior year.
