The CNA Program is a very important program at Lowell High School, and some can say it is the most difficult. Yes, there is AP Physics and AP Calculus, but this course takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and patience. These students are in a three-block class learning medical terminology, how to be a CNA, and actually taking their learnings into practice labs. The first goal of the class is to be able to start going to clinics near the start of the second semester. They will go to Lowell Healthcare, and practice all of their newly learned skills on real people.
It takes a lot of courage to meet new people and take care of them. They will be helped by the awesome staff of Lowell Healthcare, and their amazing teacher, Mrs. Harmon. She is a great teacher and really loves what she does. She used to be a nurse who worked in surgery and now teaches her students to become great CNAs. She gives everyone equal opportunities to speak out and participate in her classroom. She is very understanding of her students’ schedules, while still keeping the college feel of this course. She has been teaching for about six years and started her teaching journey here at Lowell High School. She makes sure that each of her students is doing their best, and she always stands for what is right. Mrs. Harmon is one of the most approachable teachers in the school, and she makes sure each of her students feels appreciated and welcomed in her class.
This program takes in great people and brings out amazing CNAs. It is a great program to be a part of and it is great to see how many students really try their best and perform to their greatest potential.
