Yesterday, Service High BCA went down to Hanshew Middle School to visit all the 8th grade science classes to inspire and recruit young minds! 💛 We gave them the full BCA rundown and led hands-on stations that showcased what each year looks like! We answered their questions about BCA and high school in general, and shared the different pathways they can pursue both inside and outside of the program!

We’re so excited that so many of the 8th graders were interested and eager to be part of BCA! It was amazing seeing them engaged, curious, and excited about their future! So proud of our young leaders who stepped up, ran the stations, and truly made the whole day happen — go BCA!!! 💚

Last week we had a visit from the North Star Volunteer Firefighter Department from Fairbanks to chat about their scholarship program.

Kyle (BCA c/o 2021!), the program recruitment coordinator, shared opportunities for training, tuition assistance, housing, and real-world experience.

Even better? Two of the firefighters were BCA students. Full circle. 🔥

🥼 Today was such a fun Halloween for BCA! MI started wrapping up their bacterial antibiotic resistance lab! Next door, PBS analyzed some spooky blood splatter! Since it’s Halloween, a few MI students even handed out candy to PBS!! 🎃

One week, two incredible visits from !

Nurse Billie (.ak class of 2013!), came to us from the PICU. We talked vitals, ABCs, and the highs and lows of pediatric care. How cool is it that our grads return to give back to our future health professionals?! (Who's next?! Lol)

Ms. Nancy, our SHS Providence Ambassador brought life resources (salary calculators & investment tips) and showed us more about radiology and her career as a dosimetrist.

We are so grateful for our little community ❤️
