Welcome to Health Science at the Dr. Gene Burton College and Career Academy (GBCCA).  The health science program will give a comprehensive overview of knowledge and skills essential when pursuing a healthcare career.  Health Science Theory is the required class for upper level health science classes.  HST uses software Paxton/Patterson to introduce knowledge of diverse healthcare careers.  Medical Terminology covers terminology used in health care and we will also cover basic anatomy.  

I am a Veteran, Registered Nurse, and Teacher!  I love sharing the knowledge I've gained through traveling, education, and life to help students pursue a successful career in the public service of healthcare.  I am passionate about sharing healthcare knowledge and how that positively impacts individuals and families.  I desire for students to gain three essential life skills while they are in our program:

1.  Know the signs and symptoms of a heart attack

2.  Know the signs and symptoms of a stroke

3.  Know how to save a life with CPR

I am also passionate about helping students understand diabetes, hypertension, and wounds!  I am passionate about it because, as an RN 90% (estimated) of my patients had one of those diagnoses. 

Rockwall I.S.D. is our home community.  My husband, Michael B. Jones, is a native "Rockwallian" and devoted team-member of the RISD family.  We have two children, Duncan (11) and Sabrina (6).
