South Texas High School for Health Professions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Texas High School for Health Professions, also known as 'Med High', is a high school in Mercedes, Texas in the United States. In 2006, it was placed 91st on Newsweek's Top 1200 High Schools list. The school serves as an alternative to larger municipal high schools for students interested in professing in medicine. Open enrollment has been the school's policy for many years, though application is required. South Texas High School for Health Professions is part of the South Texas Independent School District.
Med High runs on a block schedule. Students are required to take a Health, Science, and Technology (HST) class as one of their requirements.
The School has notable partnerships with Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine. Its sister school The Science Academy of South Texas, also known as SciTech, presides on the same campus. Both schools are served by Biblioteca Las Americas, located at equal distance from both schools.[citation needed]
