Fifty-nine high school students from 11 metro-area school districts and 19 high schools graduated from UNMC’s High School Alliance program on Thursday, May 21.
A graduation ceremony and reception was held at the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education on the UNMC campus, where each student received a certificate of completion.
For the past nine months the students participated in a range of courses including infectious diseases, anatomy and medical decision making.
The courses — specifically designed for high school students — were taught by UNMC faculty on the medical center campus.
The High School Alliance program provides students a unique hands-on learning experience that is different from what students would have access to at their high school. Most of the courses offered in the program are eligible for dual enrollment college credit.

We are all very proud of these students and their accomplishments.
Congratulations to HSA 2015! We hope to see you at UNMC in the near future.
