The administration and staff will help to prepare our students to be more competitive in a global society through pro- moting an academy that is tailored to the health sciences field of study. Students will have the opportunity to engage in rigorous academics and advanced instruction. By partnering with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) and North Carolina New Schools (NCNS), the students at Hawthorne Academy of Health Sciences will have career and work-based experiences to make them career and college ready upon graduation.
