The need for a specialized health-professions charter school in upstate South Carolina has never been more critical. With an ever-growing demand for healthcare services and a looming shortage of qualified professionals in the area, it's imperative that we look towards innovative solutions to prepare the next generation. The Candice M. Crosby Preparatory Academy (CMC Prep) will offer a unique opportunity to upstate South Carolina 6-12 grade students by providing specialized curricula tailored to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in life, college and as a healthcare professional.
CMC Prep is a game-changer, designed to nurture and inspire students interested in careers in healthcare. By integrating subjects like biology, chemistry, health sciences, and practical healthcare applications into the regular curriculum with Career and Technology Education pathways and opportunities to earn associate degrees, students can gain a valuable head start in their education and career paths. Studies have shown that exposure to health education in formative years can significantly influence career choices and better prepare students for higher education in science and medical fields. Moreover, CMC Prep will partner with local hospitals and clinics to offer real-world experience and mentorship opportunities, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Despite the clear benefits, setting up such a charter school requires community support and engagement. We need backing from educators, healthcare professionals, parents, and policymakers to finish turning this vision into a reality.

Crosby Foundation in advocating for a future where students have the resources and opportunities to excel as a health care professional..
