While high schools offering vocational and occupational careers were closed in the last decade in the Buffalo Public Schools--Emerson, Kensington, Seneca---others turned into comprehensive high schools such as McKinley, and rumors of Burgard High School closing, a new local charter school is filling in the vacuum.
The new Health Sciences Charter School is offering a curriculum with a college prep and health sciences focus, moving from the Town of Tonawanda to the Buffalo Medical Corridor.
What makes it unique is the partnerships it has formed with the most important institutions in the local health care industry such as the Catholic Health System, Erie County Medical Center, Kaleida Health, and Roswell Park.
