Always a joy visiting HSHMC to see all the wonderful things the staff has done to support students. Shout out to Dr. Speck for explaining the Anatomage Table, Mr. Charles for the well-designed jigsaw, and Dr. Assof for the perfect explanations of complex topics. Douglas Fisher

The 3rd graders hosted our 1st Annual Biomedical Fair. They presented on the following topics: Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell Biology, and Immunology. They also included experiments and activities into their stations. The most amazing way to end the year! Biomedical Preparatory at UTSW
