Hartman Middle School - STEM Health and Medical Science Magnet Program

Apart from the state mandated core classes, students at Hartman STEM Magnet School of Health and Medical Science will partake in rigorous and mind-stimulating courses that will introduce them to the many fields within the medical profession, as well as prepare them for high school credit exams.  Students who reach the 8th grade in our program will participate in exciting courses, such as Principles of Engineering, Technology Applications and Environment Sciences.  Students in our Magnet program will be responsible for hosting community health fairs, monthly health awareness activities and will also gain CPR and First Aid/ safety certification.
