“High-STEP Health Science Academy has helped me determine my career focus and college major. I know I want to use my passion for sports and medicine and major in Athletic Training. I couldn't have gotten to this decision without taking the High-STEP courses and I'm proud of the grades I've received thus far.”

–Sydney, TCU Senior

“Thanks for sharing the kids and their programs.  So often I lose track of them after eighth grade, and I don't get much of a chance to see where their interests are taking them.  Each display was presented by well-informed, well-spoken, and confident young men and women.  I was particularly impressed with their honesty in speaking about where they are going from here, i.e. staying with it because they have found exactly what they were looking for or moving along because they have discovered a new possibility in their area or even moving out because they learned something about themselves that just wouldn't fit in this career path.
Very cool.  Thanks for what you have given them."

St. Peter Middle School Teacher

“I really am enjoying this experience. Almost all of the therapists are shocked when I tell them I'm only a senior in high school because most observers that come around are trying to get hours for their classes in college, usually graduate school students! That makes me happy. Now I know that I'm getting an experience that most high school students don't have the chance to get."

Kelsey, St. Peter Senior
