Many students don’t explore healthcare careers simply because they haven’t been exposed to the wide range of opportunities available. October 26 from 10 A.M. – NOON at the Gonda Building in Rochester, MN, students can get hands-on experience with over 20 healthcare careers, engage with faculty and students, and explore educational opportunities. Space is limited. Register today.

In education, part of our job is to meet students where they are. Every student has a unique relationship with learning. From their learning preferences to how their brain explores concepts, education isn't a "one size fits all" experience. At Rochester Public Schools, our Advanced Learning program helps meet the needs of students who are ready for more challenging content and require experiences beyond the traditional classroom setting.
