WKHS educator learns at national level

December 15, 2017

White Knoll High’s Teacher of the Year and Lexington District One Teacher of the Year finalist recently returned from a national conference where she represented all South Carolina health science teachers.

The National Consortium for Health Science Education invited Health Science Teacher Katrina L. Haynes to attend the Institute for Educational Excellence in Omaha. The NCHSE writes the standards for courses in this subject area.

As the only teacher from South Carolina attending this conference, Haynes represented her fellow educators statewide. She participated in workshops and visited the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s virtual reality simulation lab and the biocontainment unit.

Haynes presented topics from the conference at the S.C. Health Science Educators conference in November.
