New EMT program at Edison HS offers new career opportunity to students.

HEALTH PROFESSIONS 

The magnet program allows students to earn up to 45 hours of college credit free of costs – that is 1 ½ years of college! – while working towards certification in the fields of Pharmacy Technician, Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy, Dental Assistant and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).    

 

FIRE SCIENCE 

The Fire Science program, in partnership with San Antonio College and the San Antonio Fire Department, provides a pathway to certification for the Firefighter I and Firefighter II state certifications.  Students can begin to take coursework their freshman year.  Senior year, students split their days between Edison and SAC’s Fire Science facility, where they receive the necessary training to prepare them for the certification exam.  Students can earn up to 27 hours of college credit by graduation.  Transportation is provided to and from the facility.
