In this episode of the Public School Podcast, Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with Central High School healthcare teacher Brendon Sato to talk about the growing opportunities for students interested in the medical field. From hands on healthcare training and the district’s Certified Nursing Assistant program to plans for an international healthcare tour through Great Britain and Scotland, Sato shares how real world experiences can shape a student’s future.
The conversation explores the importance of exposure, travel, and practical learning in helping students discover whether healthcare is the right path for them. Sato also reflects on his own journey from laboratory scientist to educator and why preparing students for life beyond graduation is at the heart of public education.
The episode also includes stories about classroom experiences, memorable teachers, school lunch favorites, and why public schools continue to make a lasting impact on students and communities.
