McClure Health Science High School is preparing teens for careers in medicine through hands-on learning with state-of-the-art equipment.

When Tanaya Pinkston was 5 years old, she witnessed her mother have a stroke. It was one of the scariest moments of her life, but the compassion and care she received from the 911 operator left a lasting impression.

"As soon as they heard that it was a child's voice on the phone, they were like, this is probably a serious situation, and they had to take a different approach to it," Pinkston said.

Now a senior at McClure Health Science High School in Duluth, Georgia, Pinkston wants to become a pediatric ICU nurse.

"If I didn't come to McClure, I feel like I would have known that I wanted to go into health care, but the actual career would have never been solidified, and so I would have been stuck wondering," Pinkston said.

The $38 million school prepares teens for healthcare careers through a hands-on approach to learning using state-of-the-art equipment, including dummy patients, EKG machines and dissection tables. Students also continue learning outside the classroom through partnerships with local hospitals and healthcare facilities.
