School Health Services

The School nursing staff in the Wasco Union High School District includes 1 full-time California Credentialed School Nurse

for the District and a health clerk at Independence High School. 

 

As the district's only credentialed, licensed, qualified health professional, I support and advocate for student well-being,

safety, and equal access to academic success.

 

School nursing is a highly specialized field within the nursing profession that focuses on enhancing the overall well-being and educational achievements of students. School nurses play a crucial role in bridging the gap between school staff, families, the local community, and healthcare professionals. Their primary objective is to champion the health of students and cultivate a nurturing and health-conscious school environment.
