DHS Pathway History
DHS Pathway History
This pathway was started by Kyle Montgomery in 2018 with the vision of having courses for student to take to increase their interest in the healthcare field. Covid delayed the growth of the pathway but since moving to teaching the pathway fulltime and the major support from Dr. Karen Cheser, Dylan Connel, Jamie Yarborogh, Dr. Jon Hoerl, Kricket Lewis and Bailey Noonan the CTSO/Pathway has grown exponentially in 2023 & 2024 school years. A huge debt of gratitude and thankfulness goes out to everyone that was involved in making this massive leap in the correct direction.
We have created an immersive experience with a goal to foster and increase students desire to pursue a career in the healthcare field through deep and fun curriculum and through community involvement
