Who is the head of the department?
Mr. Bariski

How many students are in the department?
38

What do they do?
Health science students are trained for many different jobs in the medical field. From pharmaceutics to sports medicine, they study the body and learn exactly how to treat it. They dissect different organs that come from animals, such as sheep, and get a close look at the blue prints of the organs. The majors also learn a great deal about the way the senses work by playing games and doing tests that take away certain senses and leave you with only a select few.
Health science majors also learn how to take care of injuries. A career in sports medicine allows them to take care and prevent injuries of athletes.

How do you audition?
Students interested in health science first attend an enrollment seminar. Then, they are given a packet to fill out, told to write a one page essay introducing themselves, and explaining why they want to be a health science major, and also told to create a portfolio containing any previous health science or athletic experience they have previously had. Next, they take a learning style test at an interview, and finally have a one on one interview.

What are a few of the classes?
Anatomy, Prevention and Care of Injuries, Diseases and Disorders of the Systems.

Where can health science majors be found?
Heath science majors can often be found in the gym.

What is some of the lingo used by the department?
Anatomical. Sternocleidomastoid.

Mrs. Laura Humbert is the director of the Media   Department. It is her job to “manage the media  department and coordinate all the teachers and all   the courses.” She also says she “develops the marketing for the school.”

“I worked in media production for twenty years,” she says “[I] met Dr. Trombetta while working for my previous employer. He stole me away.” Mrs. Humbert thinks that Lincoln Park has changed education by helping people “realize that different students learn in different ways.”  If she were stuck on an island she would wish for  “Gaven Pamer Singing.”

Mr. Dan LeRoy is the director of Literary Arts; it’s his job to make sure Literary Arts keeps up with its title. “The ability to make up a new class when it’s time to make up a new class and have it be based on things students are interested in and what they suggest, is the best part of this job.”

He came to Lincoln Park through when Mr. Catanzarite told him to apply for the job, “and I did,” he says about his friend getting him away from freelancing and into teaching. After some years at LPPACS he developed some thoughts on how Lincoln Park changed education, “which is trying to educate people one person at a time, giving people individual attention, understanding everybody doesn’t learn the same way, and you have to do different things with different people. It hasn’t changed education as much as took it back to the way it was originally.” If he were stuck on an Island all he wants is “a volleyball named Willson.”
