Health Sciences Charter School -

​SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Health Sciences would like to recognize another one of our seniors, Jason Allen. Jason was accepted to several colleges: Fisher College, Buffalo State, Nazareth University, Coppin State and Morgan State, and many others. Jason plans to attend Erie 1 Boces after high school to obtain his LPN and continue on to become a Registered Nurse. Jason is currently enrolled in our CNA class here at Health Sciences. Jason's favorite thing about Health is that "it is not just a school, it is a family. Everyone there supports you in so many ways and you'll never feel alone". If Jason could thank any staff member it would be Ms. Officer, our Director of Curriculum and Instruction. "Officer is really like a second mom to me. She pushes me to be a better me and encourages me to do things that I didn't think I could do. Officer sees my true potential even when I cannot see it and it is one of the things I love most about her. She is there for me on my worst days. She is a shoulder I can cry on and the person I can vent to when I have a heavy heart. I want to thank her for being my biggest supporter and my biggest inspiration." If Jason could go back and offer advice to his freshman-self he would tell himself "not everybody deserves your time. Don't let people waste your time especially if it is not benefiting you." We are proud of all you have accomplished and we cannot wait to witness all of the great things you will do. Congratulations!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Health Sciences would like to recognize one of our seniors, Ny'aja Hunt. Ny'aja is a member of our track team and the recipient of this year's Health Sciences Hero Award and Most Valuable Athlete Award. Ny'aja was accepted into several colleges including Coppin State, Buffalo State, Hilbert College, and Fisher College.  Ny'aja would like to start her own daycare in the future. Her favorite thing about Health Sciences is that "Health is a family, they know when something is wrong, they know when you are mentally struggling and they will continue to help you until you are better. They offer so many opportunities that other schools don't." If Ny'aja could thank anyone she would thank every staff member at Health because "they all showed me love differently and pushed me in their own way. I wouldn't have wanted to spend my four years of high school anywhere else." If Ny'aja could go back and give herself advice as a 9th grader she would say "keep your circle small and get your work done when it is given." Congratulations, Ny'aja. We are so proud of your growth and we are rooting for you!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Health Sciences would like to recognize Knionna (better known as Lanaee) Leeper. Lanaee has been on the honor roll her senior year, participated in wrestling and volunteered for several service opportunities with Mrs. Pettway. Lanaee was accepted to D'Youville University but plans to go to the Army Reserves Boot Camp. She plans to start college in 2026 and would like to major in Nursing. When asked what she loves most about Health Sciences she stated, "the love and community with the teachers and students. It is a real connection that doesn't seem fake or like it only exists when we are in school. We have a connection with our teachers and counselors in and out of school." If she could thank anyone, she said it would be Mr. Ross, her ELA teacher and Wrestling Coach. Lanaee said "He has done so many things for me and other students around the school. I really appreciate him for everything he has done. Mr. Ross is the main reason I passed my ELA Regents exam and the main reason I keep going everyday and decided to apply to colleges. He helped me through a lot and I am just really appreciative of him and thankful. He is like a cousin and an uncle all in one. Thank you Coach Ross. I love you!" If Lanaee could give her freshman-self some advice it would be "have fun, get good grades and make it the best time of your life". Congratulations Lanaee, we cannot wait to see where life takes you!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Congratulations to Willniyah Gidron who is member of our Top 10 academic seniors and a member of the Varsity Girls Basketball Team! Willniyah has been accepted to Buffalo State, Villa Maria College and ECC. She is interested in becoming a barber and would like to participate in more photography courses in college. Willniyah's favorite thing about Health Sciences is that school is dedicated to helping students and giving them many different opportunities to be successful. If Willniyah could thank any staff member it would be her English Teacher, Ms. Soules. "She pushes me to speak up when needed and she motivates me to do what I am supposed to do." If she could give any advice to freshmen it would be to "pay attention and don't goof around. Study more and get your service hours out of the way". Congratulations Willniyah, we wish you the best!
