Southwest High School Health Science Center Grand Opening

Southwest High School Academy for Careers in Health Sciences (SACHS) is thrilled to announce the grand opening of the Southwest High School Health Science Center. The grand opening event will take place at the Southwest High School Amphitheater on May 16, 2024, with a community partner resource fair starting at 5:30 p.m followed by the Opening Ceremony at 6:00 p.m and ending with a tour of the state-of-the-art facility. 

The Health Science Center at Southwest High School is dedicated to serving students enrolled in the Career Technical Education: Health Science and Medical Technology courses. Designed as a robust pathway, the courses offer students an experience that emphasizes patient care with a focus on public health. 

The Opening Ceremony will include remarks from the Imperial County Public Health Department Director as well as the San Diego State University Imperial Valley Dean, two key partners and supporters of our future healthcare professionals. The event will also include a performance by the SHS Orchestra and ARC Folklorico as well as tours of the Health Science Center with student-led skills demonstrations and projects.

We invite all Central Union High School District community members, students, families, and stakeholders to join us in celebrating this special occasion and to witness the impact of the Health Science Center on our future health professionals. Members of the media will have the opportunity to tour the new Health Science Center and take pictures of students utilizing the state-of-the-art facility.
