Governor's Health Sciences Academy Awarded Grant

The Governor’s Health Sciences Academy at Bruton High School is one of 16 programs awarded grant funding from the Virginia Department of Education for equipment upgrades.

BHS will receive $37,500 to purchase virtual reality (VR) interactive anatomy laboratory equipment. The use of VR will give students an interactive view of an anatomical model of a human body system which traditional schematic drawings cannot provide. Students will be able to use the VR equipment independently or collaboratively.

Bruton High School is one of only nine Governor’s Health Sciences Academies in Virginia. Enrollment in the Governor’s Health Sciences Academy is open to all YCSD high school students. Students can choose a pathway in Therapeutic or Diagnostic services according to their interest. Students interested in the program should speak with their school counselor.
