Teachers, Eileen Briceland and Cheryl Chamberlain were brainstorming during the summer about how to make an impact on rising seniors at Grand Island High School.

Caralyn Reynolds.
Caralyn Reynolds is a senior from Grand Island High School and is enrolled in the Health Careers program at Erie 1 BOCES Kenton Career and Technical Center. “I enrolled in BOCES because I spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital as a child and wanted to get an appropriate education in healthcare verse my firsthand experiences,” Caralyn said. In the fall of 2022, following graduation, Caralyn plans on entering a Bachelor of Nursing in Science program at a four year college and then going on to obtain a Registered Nursing degree. She plans to seek employment as an oncology nurse after college.“Caralyn demonstrates professionalism and teamwork at all times. She shows a passion for learning and plans to continue her career in healthcare working towards becoming a registered nurse,” said instructor Jonnie O’Connor.
“This program has provided me an advantage to reach my goals because I not only learn about the different body systems, abbreviations in the medical field, and different medication, but I get to learn different skills and apply them to real people and even get to go into a healthcare facility to get a taste of what it’s like to work as a Certified Nurse’s Assistant,” Carlayn said. She also added, “This has been one of my favorite classes that I’ve taken during high school and it has taught me so much to prepare me for my future in healthcare.”
As part of public education, Erie 1 BOCES offers a variety of career and technical programs during the regular school day to high school students in Erie County. High school students interested in learning more about how they can participate in various programs such as sports science, web and gaming technologies, nursing or aviation technology, should visit www.e1b.org/cte or speak with their high school counselor.
