East Allegheny Junior Senior High School

JR/SR High School Health Services

Healthy students are better learners.

Our dedicated Health Services nurses care for students through illness, injuries, screenings, and chronic health needs. By providing health education and promoting wellness, we help students build healthy habits for life—so they can feel their best and thrive in and out of the classroom.
