The North High Bio-Med program is an advanced level science program that prepares students for the rigors of college and in science and health related careers. This is a four-year program, and most of our students continue in college toward their original goal. However, we are designed so that if a student changes their mind, as many students do, they will not have to exit the program and will still receive a valuable science background that will enhance their resume as well as applications for colleges/scholarships.

Currently, North High is the only high school in USD259 that offers all four levels of Project Lead the Way: Bio-Medical Sciences elective courses. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the leading provider of rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education curricular programs used in elementary, middle, and high schools across the U.S. The hands-on, project-based Bio-Medical Science courses engage students on multiple levels, expose them to areas of study that they typically do not pursue, and provide them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success.

The following is a breakdown of the classes students take while in our program:

Freshman:
Sophomore:
Junior:
Senior:
Bio-Med Core Class
Bio-Med 1: Honors Biology
Bio-Med 2: Honors Chemistry
Bio-Med 3: AP Physics 1
Bio-Med 4: Medical Anatomy and Physiology, AP Biology, Shadowing, & Certifications
Project Lead the Way Elective
Principles of Bio-Medical Sciences
Human Body Systems
Medical Interventions
Bio-Medical Innovation Capstone Project
Of course you will also take the required core classes in English, Social Studies, Math and PE while leaving room for elective courses. We always encourage our students to take advanced courses in all core subjects as well as a foreign language which is highly valued when working in any health related field.
  • Supplemental Courses: There are several courses that are available in conjunction with certain pathways. They include: Medical Terminology and Pharmacology. These courses are taught through WSU Tech. Students receive college credit hours that are paid for through the grant that funds our program.
