    ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES

    The High School of Health Sciences (HS^2) is a public charter school that exists on the Kettle Moraine High School Campus. HS^2 opened in the fall of 2014 and currently serves students in grades nine through 12. Its Governance council has established a class size of 50 students per grade.  

    HS^2  partners with ProHealth Care, Lake Country Fire & Rescue, Aurora Medical Center - Summit and the Medical College of Wisconsin to provide hands-on experience and outreach for students on the Kettle Moraine High School Campus, allowing Kettle Moraine School District to directly meet the needs of area business partners. Students in HS^2 will learn through immersive environments where they are introduced to diverse career pathways and professionals in the world of health care. 

    The philosophy behind HS^2  is: learning is a social, diverse and collaborative experience. HS^2 empowers students to be the architects of their own learning, making connections between relevant course instruction and their future endeavors. 

    Our vision is to ensure students are not just learning, but learning well. Students will ultimately master a relevant course of study equipping them for success in health care, research and other related fields.
