Health Academy, taught by Mr. Kimura, is an elective offered to sophomores and up and is geared towards students interested in the Health field.

The first year involves a lot of group work and presentations. But as you move up, the class requirements become more intensive and authentic according to students.

“As you go on to the second and third year there is a lot of independent and group work,” senior Rosalyn Kagimoto said. She explained that higher-level students also plan merger events and internships.

The typical class consists of around 20 people, and grading is mostly based on project work.

Students enjoy Mr. Kimura’s teaching technique.

“What I like about the teacher is he helps you become independent with working on assignments and time management,” Kagimoto said. “He still helps along the way but he tries to help you become a better person.”
