Joel Arvizo, a graduate of Ogden High School, states,

in high school and because of the support I received in
the health sciences curriculum." Read the full story...

Fun Facts
Fun Fact - Agriculture
Farming is more than food! Products you use every day come from plant and animal by-products produced by farmers and ranchers, such as pharmaceuticals, latex gloves, heart valves, baseball bats, uniforms, paper, shampoo, fingernail polish, tires, antifreeze, detergents, film, crayons, chalk, and the list goes on and on and on!

Fun Fact - Health Science & Technology
Biotechnology is predicted to be one of the most important applied sciences of the 21st century. The field of biotechnology can trace its true birth back to the dawn of civilization, when early man discovered the ability to ferment grains to make alcoholic beverages, and learned of the usefulness of cross-pollinating crops in order to create new hybrid strains-the earliest form of genetic engineering.
