This summer we offered a new pilot program at EPHS! A high school STNA (State Tested Nursing Assistant) program was introduced, preparing students for a career as a nursing assistant in Ohio. The focus was on practical skills and the knowledge needed for patient care. Successful completion allows students to sit for the Ohio STNA certification exam.  Congratulations to Olivia Dyke and Gabriella Kirbaugh on taking the leap and successfully completing this program! Way to go!!!
