About
Clara Barton High School for Health Professions has been preparing students for careers in the health industry since 1939. Located in the historic district of Crown Heights, Clara Barton High School offers students the chance to graduate with state certification in one of six entry-level health careers and exposure to four additional advanced career fields, along with their diploma. Students graduate college-ready with a Career and Technical Education (CTE) endorsement in majors such as Practical Nursing (LPN), Medical Assisting, Nursing Assisting, Dental Assisting, Dental Lab Technology, Vision Technology, or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification. Beyond health careers, students can also focus on business and finance, civics and pre-law, sports management, technology, or one of our health career majors. Additionally, students can participate in the rigorous Gateway Honors for Pre-College Education program. We offer a specialized bilingual program in Haitian-Creole and provide comprehensive related and instructional support services as outlined in students individualized education plans (IEPs). For students requiring alternate assessments, we offer a challenging life skills and work-based ACES program. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.
