A new documentary set to premiere on October 27 at 4 p.m. features three students from the first class of the Durham Early College of Health Sciences (DECHS) as they approach their second year at the high school. The school is a collaborative initiative involving Duke University, Durham Public Schools, and Durham Technical Community College, with funding provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Durham Early College of Health Sciences offers students the opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree or workforce credentials at no cost. Graduates will have direct access to employment opportunities in patient care or clinical research at Duke Health, creating streamlined pathways into the healthcare field.
The documentary aims to shed light on the school’s founding and the journey of its students as they navigate their educational experiences. Interested viewers can watch the film next week to discover more about the impact of DECHS on its inaugural cohort and the local community.
