Kearny High School Partners with Miramar College for Certificate Program
This spring, Kearny enrolled 28 seniors in the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program at Miramar College. This semester, students who completed their high school graduation requirements in January, will be attending class three times a week at Miramar, and once a week work study course at Kearny. The work study course will support students as they process the information and content they learned in their Miramar courses. Students will also reflect on the overall experience, create personal and professional goals, write resumes, and practice essential skills related to successful employment. In order to complete the certificate students will take the San Diego County EMT skills certification exam in June. Upon earning a passing score students will be ready for gainful employment; truly graduating high school as college and career ready students.
