According to PLTW’s website (www.pltw.org), “We believe all students – beginning at a young age – need access to real-world, applied learning experiences that empower them to gain the skills they need to thrive in college, career and beyond. Through our programs, students develop in-demand, transportable skills – such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, collaboration and communication – that they will use both in school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.”

The students who were recognized successfully completed Principles of Biomedical Science, Human Body Systems and Medical Interventions. During those classes, pupils are tasked with thinking critically, diagnosing patients and learning real-world medical practices they would encounter in a biomedical profession. They received a long white medical coat, a graduation stole and a certificate to signify their achievement.

Addison Trail Science Department Head John Fouser and science teachers Laura Garcia, Matt Lindgren, Theresa Marzullo, Dena Zarou and Kristian Coerper discussed the PLTW curriculum and congratulated the recipients on their accomplishment.

Students honored during the White Coat Ceremony are:
Senior Renata Betancourt, senior Nathaniel Elakkatt, senior Samantha Flores, senior Gianna Garcia, senior Jaden Gutierrez, junior Sofia Ibarra, junior Ebad Ur Rahman Khan, junior Angel Leyva, junior Janelle Medrano Villanueva, sophomore Noor Naseeruddin, junior Joseph Pausa, senior Chloe Perez, junior Leslie Ramirez, senior Ashley Rivera, junior Rylie Rosato, junior Melanie Sosa Maldonado, junior Emely Hernandez Urqui, junior Isabella Venuti, senior Carly Woehler and junior Eliska Zvak.
